Green Tourmaline & Diamond Pendant After Barry Kieselstein-Cord

Crafted from 18 karat yellow gold, this pendant is a design after North American jeweller Barry Kieselstein-Cord. The pendant centres on a single cabochon cut green tourmaline which is set in an off centre Maltese cross surrounded by gold granulation. Above this central Maltese style cross is a panel set with seven round brilliant cut diamonds which are each of G colour and VS clarity totalling 0.13 carat. The pendant has a slight Gothic feel, with Kieselstein-Cord's pieces often referencing historical periods and incorporating antique and ancient motifs. The pendant presents in good overall condition with some minor wear to the surface of the green tourmaline, commensurate with age and use. Whilst this pendant is unsigned, it was purchased with a matched gold bracelet and we believe it to be an extra link that has been removed from the bracelet. With the addition of a fine gold trace chain, this pendant is likely to become a firm favourite with its silky satin finished gold texture.

Marked - unmarked but tests as 18 karat gold and is matched to a bracelet signed for Barry Kieselstein-Cord (likely a removed link)
