Art Deco Vintage Sterling Silver Open Back Ruby Paste Demi Riviere Necklace Gift
Welcome to jewelbox :. A beautiful flattering necklace in a design that has been around for centuries and since it has never been bettered it will probably be around for centuries to come. The centre front is decorated with cut glass crystals which are claw set into open bezel Sterling Silver settings. The stones are table cut to the front and in deep points to the reverse, just as diamonds are. The open settings allow the light to flood through and play with the facets and show that beautiful rich red shade to perfection. The colour is definitely red in some images they may look a little more towards garnet. Towards the end of the pastes at each side there is a larger one which gives a lovely accent point. They are all linked with carefully soldered links which render them fluid in wear. The necklace is completed with a simple Sterling Silver Chain which fastens with a secure Sterling Silver ring bolt clasp. The end ring does not appear to be Sterling Silver. There are no markings which is not unusual for a neckace of this age and weight but it is tested and guaranteed. App 17.4 inches long. This is a wonderful size for this age of necklace. The larger pastes are app 7 mm in diameter but the necklace has old proportions so if you like chunky then this is not for you. The end jump ring shows two pin prick losses to finish. The rest is sparkling clean. I have not even had to clean it! Everything is original and not messed with and the necklace looks as if it has never been worn. An adorable necklace so grown up! Ready to gift as shown in last image. Any boxes, mannequins or fabrics are for display only. Everything is photographed in natural light with a flash. I do not enhance colours but there could be difference between browsers etc. For international (always tracked and insured) also generally working out at cost. We are human beings and on occasion will probably make a mistake but will do everything we can to resolve one if it happens.
