Although this is not a gemstone necklace, I've put it in this category because it is similar in appearance. The central drop is a cylinder-looking ceramic piece with two swirled beads suspended from it. The necklace has some very interesting glass beads with an openwork gold pattern on them, and spiral molded glass beads. The necklace is 21" long and the matching dangle earrings measure 1-3/4" from the top of the vermeil leverbacks (which are marked 925). A very interesting, beautiful set!
