Oooh. What an utterly perfect peice for the winter holiday season. It looks like a frosted wreath. And, bonus! It converts into two bracelets. 3 for 1 value.
This gorgeous thing was made in France in 1930. It's designed as a meandering vine set with 73 carved emerald leaves,
accented by old mine, old European, and rose-cut diamonds (approximately 9.00 carats). It's only 14½ long, so it's a bit of a choker. The necklace separates into two bracelets lengths 7¼ inches.
I'm a bit in love with it. You know how I feel about vine-shaped things, especially if the leaves are individually carved, like these are.
