About the Item

A striking example of 1940s retro glamour, this bold 14K yellow gold Tubogas-style necklace is a true collector’s piece. Weighing a substantial 109 grams, it features a sculptural slide centerpiece adorned with seven natural rubies (approx. 0.60 carats) and three sparkling diamonds (approx. 0.28 carats), each set within starburst engravings for a celestial touch. The flexible snake chain, iconic of the retro era, hugs the neck with luxurious fluidity and presence. The necklace is adjustable in length, allowing it to be styled as a close-fitting collar or a slightly looser drape for added versatility. The combination of rich ruby reds, bright diamonds, and gleaming gold evokes timeless sophistication and Old Hollywood elegance. A masterclass in vintage craftsmanship, this piece is perfect worn solo as a statement or layered with other heirlooms. Circa 1940.
