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 was a time of liveliness and innovation in the late 1940s and early 1950s. This positive vibe was 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 has a heavy bail and under-gallery, so it lies 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 it could also be worn with a modern-day outfit.
