A singlelarger old mine cut diamond floats near the top of the frame beside a smaller round diamond, the two together withthe diamonds in the crescent weighing approximately 0.80 carat in G-H color and SI clarity across the eight stones.That mix of matte gold and bright diamond sparkle, along with the bold, sculptural teardrop shape itself, is classicRetro-era design, a period when jewelers favored large, confident silhouettes over the more delicate work of earlierdecades.
