Turquoise, Diamond, Sapphire and Baroque Pearl 18K Gold Pendant/Brooch Necklace

A substantial round turquoise cabochon anchors this statement piece, its smooth blue surface bordered by a dense ring of 32 round brilliant diamonds set in platinum for extra brightness against the yellow gold. Four pear-shape sapphires punctuate the corners of the design, their rich blue adding a second layer of color that plays off the turquoise's lighter, more opaque tone. The brooch/pendant converts to wear as a charm suspended from its own three-strand necklace of baroque pearls, each strand broken by a single gold link at the center; a detail that lets the irregular, organic pearl shapes read as a deliberate design choice rather than an inconsistency. This kind of large-scale, multi-material statement jewelry, combining fine diamonds with more accessible stones like turquoise, was characteristic of bold 1970s design. Stamped platinum and 18K. Excellent condition; no visible chips, cracks, or damage to the turquoise.
