Bloomingdale's 18K Yellow Gold and Sapphire Etruscan-Style Jewelry Set

This fine jewelry set consists of a necklace and matching clip-on earrings, masterfully crafted in 18-karat yellow gold. The necklace features a wide, flat Byzantine or woven mesh-style chain that leads to a central V-shaped bib transition, supporting a prominent trapezoidal drop pendant. The jewelry exhibits intricate Etruscan-revival characteristics, including detailed filigree, granulated textures, and scrolling metalwork. Each piece is set with cabochon-cut natural blue sapphires of a deep navy saturation; two on the necklace and one on each earring. The gold displays a high-polish finish with textured recesses that provide depth to the ornate design. The necklace is fitted with a box clasp and safety latch, while the earrings are fashioned with rectangular backings typical of premium clip-on designs. The set is presented in its original white Bloomingdale's presentation box, suggesting a late 20th-century provenance (circa 1980s-1990s). The craftsmanship is characteristic of high-end boutique retail collections, showing no visible signs of repair, thinning, or significant wear, maintaining excellent structural integrity and a rich gold luster.
