The magic lies in the synergy of the materials and the design: pink gold and sterling, studded with diamonds and rubies, while the flowing lines suggest reeds emerging from a river with channel-set diamond banks. The likely natural grey pearl, suspended from the bottom, implies treasures gently evolving in the river current below the waterline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e French Art Nouveau, circa 1890\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e French\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18ct pink gold and sterling silver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.90ct rose-cut diamonds, set open back; .20ct likely Burmese rubies; natural grey pearl, approximately 5mm in length, uncertified\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 63 × 51mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.26g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent historical condition.
