About the Item

A magnificent vintage statement necklace crafted in rich 18K yellow gold, featuring a striking array of natural cabochon rubies arranged in a dramatic graduated fringe design. The necklace showcases over 70 deep purplish-red rubies, each exhibiting natural inclusions and internal silk typical of untreated or minimally treated stones from Burma or Africa. The cabochons are individually bezel and prong set in handcrafted open-back mountings, allowing for maximum light play and movement. The front fringe design tapers gently along the neckline, creating a regal drape that flatters the collarbone. The craftsmanship, substantial weight, and meticulous hand setting suggest mid-20th-century origins, likely from an Indian or European high jewelry workshop during the 1960s–70s, when bold colored stone necklaces saw a resurgence in luxury fashion. This one-of-a-kind piece is perfect for collectors of vintage gemstone jewelry and makes an unforgettable heirloom statement.
