Mid Century French 18ct Gold Cultured Pearl Torsade necklace with Diamond, Rock Crystal and Ruby Clasp feed-agegroup-adult which was assayed in BirminghamA magnificent jewel from France, which consists of strands of pearls with a dramatic and impressive clasp. The clasp has cabochon rubies, carved and fluted frosted rock crystal and diamonds. It is very amazing on. While it is not signed it is very much in the style of Bvlgari. It also can be worn in torsade style (the pearls twisted) or more loosely. Pearl necklaces have never gone out of fashion, and this one certainly packs a punch!
