Calibrated Ruby Pear Pendant Set With Mysterious Diamond Surround And Its Yellow Gold Chain

Contemporary pendant in 750/°° yellow gold (18 KT, eagle's head hallmark), in the general shape of a pear, decorated in its center with a pavé of rubies, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds. The rubies, square in shape, are set edge to edge, on a domed volume, so that no metal appears between them: this is a particularly elaborate setting process, developed by Van Cleef & Arpels in the 1930s, under the name of "Serti Mystérieux". Indeed, nothing seems to hold the stones, unlike the claws and other settings traditionally used in jewelry...... This particularly demanding process is applied to beautiful materials, and in fact the fine rubies mounted here are of particularly high quality, with a strong color and a lively shine. These rubies are surrounded by a border of brilliant-cut diamonds set with grains following the contours of the pear, and also run on the bail. This one is articulated so as to create an effect of mobility with the pendant, although the articulation between the two is also invisible. This pendant therefore combines a high quality of materials and manufacturing.... It is accompanied by its chain, with a mixed mesh alternating between bars and curb chain, closed by a spring ring. This chain, removable and independent of the pendant can be used for any other purposes. Total weight of rubies estimated at approximately 5.15 carats Total weight of diamonds estimated at approximately ...... carat Gross weight: 11.14 g Condition: imperceptible micro-scratches on the metal, characteristic natural inclusions in rubies and diamonds not visible to the naked eye Possibility of payment entirely remotely via the site.
