A very pretty 18K gold multigem "Sputnik" pendant in the style of H Stern. Stern, the world's largest dealer in colored gemstones, created this design to showcase the wonderful array of colored gemstones native to Brazil. Amethysts, aquamarines, citrines, garnets, and green and pink tourmalines are collet-set above the gold dome. The resulting appearance was considered very modern and was popularly named after the early Russian space satellite. Each piece has a unique look depending upon the particular selection and arrangement of stones. Rings were the most popular pieces in this pattern, and pendants are extremely difficult to find. The bale is marked "18K". The pendant is suspended from a very well-made 22K yellow gold faceted 24" chain. Origin: pendant, Brazil; chain, Italy; both ca. 1960. Condition: excellent. Size: pendant, 15/16" diameter; chain, 24" long. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: 6.33 carats. |
