Triple Tier Emerald-Cut Blue Topaz and Aquamarine Pendant

This is a vertical drop pendant featuring three graduated, emerald-cut gemstones set in 14k or 18k yellow gold. The bottom and largest stone appears to be a London Blue Topaz, characterized by its deep, saturated teal-blue hue. Above it are two smaller, graduated stones with a much lighter, sea-foam blue tone, consistent with Aquamarine or light blue Swiss Topaz. Each stone is secured by a four-prong setting with polished gold tabs. The overall construction displays a 'step' or 'ladder' design, common in late 20th-century jewelry (circa 1980s-1990s). The metal shows a bright, reflective finish with minimal visible scratching, though some light patina is present on the underside of the prongs. The stones appear to have good clarity with significant light return through the table facets, indicating quality lapidary work. The pendant is suspended from a simple, polished gold tapered bail. There are no visible maker's marks or hallmarks on the front, but the design suggests a mass-market fine jewelry piece of high-quality craftsmanship, likely intended for a formal or cocktail attire set.
