This is such a spectacular Retro style Demi Parure comprised of
a necklace and bracelet. Please note the pictures DO NOT do it justice and I am
sure you will be thrilled with this lovely set.
Each piece is comprised of fancy curb-like links that graduate
slightly in size. Each is formed of four square-edged links all soldered
together to form a rigid link.
The large, fold-over clasps are in perfect working order with a
thick jump ring soldered to the chain. I tried these on and they look so great I
was inclined to keep it!
It has the silky smooth feel usually only associated with solid
carat gold and expected of quality antique jewellery. It has a warm yellow hue
and is so much nicer than the pictures suggest.
