Of swag design with terminals designed as flowerheads, set with two round diamonds weighing approximately 2.55 carats, further accented by round, baguette and marquise-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 13.50 carats, one baguette diamond missing; the swag detaches for variety of wear.

In good condition. Evidence of repair in one place between a link along the top rowof baguette diamonds. There is another link on the lower rowthat appears to be bent increasing the amount of give between the links and is slightly noticeable when worn. The hinges on the pin backs work smoothly and the swag is secured with two safety clasps. The length of the swag is approximately 4 1/2 inches and it cannot be extended into a completely straight line though there is flexibility. There is one baguette diamond missing from a floral frond and there is general wear to the metal in the form of scratches, commensurate with age. The larger diamonds centering the flowers are approximately I-J color, VS clarity and the smaller diamonds are approximately G-I color, VVS-VS clarity with a few SI examples.
