Condition:
In good condition - certainly Art Deco in style, possibly early 20th century in date, but not possible to rule out more modern manufacture. Rubies pink, opaque, typical inclusions, some surface-reaching, some surface wear. Pearls untested, mixed, some baroque shapes, all a silvery body colour with good lustre, some surface imperfections but pretty overall. Rondelles in good condition, some minor wear. Nicely strung, in good condition, gross weight 71 grams.
