Jewelry history: retro jewelry is characterized by the use of yellow gold, the development of 3-D volumes and the use of synthetic stones to compensate for the lack of natural stones at the time. Here we have a perfect example of this jewelry with its geometric shapes, its Verneuil sapphires and an important structure.
