Vintage 0.7ct Green Tourmaline and Diamond Pendant, 9ct Yellow Gold, 1.15g

This fantastic vintage pendant came our way with a dull scratched amethyst- and we could could not help but think how amazing it would look with a fresh and vibrant centre stone. Well green tourmalines (especially round cuts) have that magic for us - they are like a palm tree of tropical greens - rich vibrant greens through lime greens - and they are captivating to watch. Claw set inside this fabulous snowflake like gold pendant, it has extra sparkle from those 8 little single cut natural diamonds. We love the size of this pendant - it is a great and striking size and the contrast of that rich green stone to the yellow claws and white glints. The tourmaline is natural and has some brown inclusions - please see macro photos - and be aware no-one is likely to be up close with a loupe while you are wearing it.
