Retro Era Ruby "Scroll" Pendant Necklace in 18 Karat Yellow and Rose Gold
About the Item
Eytan purchased a set of two gorgeous cigarette boxes years ago from a customer because he liked the clasps -- the calibre-cut rubies, channel settings, strong geometric shapes and sloping elevations are such perfect exemplars of 1930s/1940s Retro Era jewelry.
Given the low appetite these days for cigarettes, much less cigarette boxes, Eytan removed the clasps and made them into pendants. One pendant was quickly snarfed up by a client and the pendant presented here is its slightly smaller mate.
The twenty-eight ruby square cuts (approximately 0.5 carats total) are channel-set in two rows of rose gold, layered over a tapered scroll of yellow gold. A rose gold "bar" extends from the top on either side, and it's through the ends of this bar that the chain is strung -- the perfect accompaniment -- a 16" snake chain in 14 karat yellow gold, very soft, not too yellow, and 1.2mm thick.
While synthetic rubies would be fairly typical for this period, we think these are natural stones because they show some color and size differentiation, whereas synthetics tend to be more uniform.
Measurements: The pendant is ⅞" long and 1-¼" wide (along the top). The chain is 1.2mm thick and 16" long.
Marks: The pendant does not have a maker's mark. After testing for gold content, Eytan marked the pendant's back "18K." The chain, which is 14 karat gold, is stamped "14K" and "ITALY."
Closure: Lobster; note that the chain cannot be removed from the pendant without removing the closure hardware.
Weight: 10.2 grams (the chain weighs 4.5 grams).
