Retro Gold Pendant & Earrings with Aquamarines & Rubies

This fabulous pendant and earring suite features high-quality gemstones in an unusual retro setting. The retro period spanned the late 1940s into the early 1950s and was a time of ebullience and innovation. This positive vibe is visible in every art form, including fine jewelry. Gone were the dainty and subtle designs of the Great Depression, and in were the flamboyant and joyous looks of the post-war boom. This particular set features large natural Aquamarines with a powder blue hue, surrounded by accenting natural Rubies in a pink-red tone. The color contrast is striking, especially against the chunky yellow gold settings. The pendant is complete with a heavy bail and undergallery so it lays flat; the earrings feature posts with omega-backs for comfortable and secure wear. This is the perfect set to dress up a retro outfit, but could easily be worn with a variety of styles.
