Finding beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry makes this job of mine all the more exciting. I found this very unusual orb in London in a private collectors stash! What is so special about this piece is the starburst pattern that sparkles at the base of the orb. Clearly, an understated way to present the dazzle of these beautifully saturated red rubies and not have them detract from the finely engraved orb. The engraving is perfect with C curves in a fanciful design encompassing the entire orb. A true treasure! 19mm diameter. 22KT Not marked but tested. An independent gemological appraisal accompanies this piece at purchase. Chain may be purchased separately.
