The pendant is suspended from a sculptural scepter-style bail set with 17 natural rubies, suspended from a 36 inch 18K yellow gold chain. The end links are stamped “750”, “585”, and “925”. Signed with an “RB” or “AB” mark. The pendant measures approximately 11.00 × 45.00 mm. Gross weight of 12.00 grams.
