Striking and unmistakably Retro, this circa 1940s necklace is crafted in rich 14K yellow gold and finished with a bold, regal Russian pear-shaped amethyst of approximately 2.70 carats, suspended as a dramatic centerpiece that glows with deep violet saturation. Encircling the amethyst, 16 round-cut diamonds add crisp, high-end brilliance totaling approximately 0.50 carats (G–H color, VS1–VS2 clarity), creating a classic halo effect with serious sparkle and beautiful contrast against the warm gold. Measuring 16 inches and weighing a substantial 16.8 grams, this is the kind of vintage statement piece that instantly elevates a simple neckline—collectible, glamorous, and ready to wear; stamped “NEI, 14K, PAT 4697315.” Very good conditions. All our diamonds and colored gemstones are naturally earth-mined. Any synthetic (lab-grown) stones will be clearly indicated in the description. Upon Request, Auction House may provide an appraisal. This will carry an additional cost. Appraisals are made by our in house GIA certified Gemologist.
