This is an Art Deco platinum necklace with an 80 ct green emerald cut tourmaline.
The tourmaline was usually an
indicolite tourmaline as I mentioned but this necklace is the standard design for these necklaces.https://rauantiques.com/products/art-deco-green-tourmaline-pendant-80-71-carats
I don’t get much in to jewelery but I really like that necklace!

Well, you like design and craftsmanship so it makes sense!

This was in the FT magazine today
I'm not usually a fan of complex or large rings, but this blue diamond with whites is a cracker; I'd buy if I could.

Spectacular, Andy.
I'd have a huge, unmovable vault in my home if I won the lottery.

Red spinel is probably my favorite gemstone along with diamonds.
I became interested in red spinels when I read about them and saw pictures of them with carved inscriptions done for Moghul rulers.
I far prefer red spinels to rubies.

I like the store Vivienne from Chateau Love runs online. She sells antique jewelry. Nothing exorbitant in price, just really nice. There's a pair of mother of pearl cufflinks 4 or 5 pages down that I like. She has quite a turnover of merchandise so there's always a lot of "SOLD" items but she stocks it frequently.

Siberian amethyst.
Do you see? It's not the same color as what we think of amethyst. It's not close.

I know the pendant would have nowhere to sit if the chain were longer.
I just have a personal dislike of short chains.
I also think the pendant is too big for the chain.
I'd wear this as a brooch.

@Bernard I looked through this and read the descriptions for a couple hours. I like all the different periods of jewelry and some of these pieces were beautiful and the prices incredible.
