A very attractive Retro 18K yellow gold wirework open mesh bracelet studded with round-cut synthetic rubies. Nearly all Retro jewelry is set with synthetic rubies, largely because the stones were very difficult to get from Asia in the years leading up to World War II. The gems alternate with gold beads in a zigzag pattern that nicely highlights the intricate interwoven design of the bracelet. The box clasp is marked "18K".Origin: America, ca. 1930. Condition: excellent. Size: 1-1/8" wide; 8-5/16" long. Weight: 58.8 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: 5.54 cts.

A fine Retro comet brooch worked in 14K yellow gold and set with diamonds and blue sapphires. The comet's head and a portion of the tail are saw-pierced, a treatment that considerably lightens a design that would otherwise be too massive. The center of the brooch is set with a marquise-shaped plaque worked in white gold and bead-set with round brilliant- and single-cut diamonds. The plaque is surrounded by a cluster of prong-set round brilliant-cut sapphires. The diamonds are estimated at J color, SI clarity. The sapphires have a slightly violetish-blue color, with strong saturation, moderate tone, and very good brilliance. Comet jewelry has been popular for hundreds of years, and usually become fashionable whenever a particularly notable comet passes close to Earth. The back is marked "14K" and has an unknown maker's mark.Origin: America, ca. 1940. Condition: excellent, all original. Size: 2-5/16" x 1-7/8". Weight: 18.9 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: diamond, .6 carat; sapphire, 2.0 carats.
