14K Green Spinel Pendant with Diamonds

Helen Huang  1″ x  3/4

This beautiful horizontally aligned oval pendant is accented with diamonds.  Appearing a strong blue-green indoors, it changes to a wonderful minty green in natural light.  One viewer dubbed it “the Scope stone”.  The bale is large and easily accommodates a 6mm omega.  Some 8mm omegas will work as well, depending on the clasp.  A stellar piece for anyone seeking something out of the ordinary.  (display chain available separately)
