Oscar de la Renta Jade Green Teardrop Necklace

A woven gold-tone chain opening into a shallow V of pavé stones, with a pair of marquise crystals set at each shoulder where the V begins. A smooth green teardrop hangs from the crossing point, held in a small crystal-set cap.

The V is the interesting part. Rather than a single row it uses two, an inner line of round stones and an outer fringe of square settings, so the piece has depth along its length instead of just sparkle. The drop is polished rather than faceted, which keeps it quiet against all that stonework.

Closes with a box clasp and safety catch, which is a heavier fitting than most costume necklaces of this kind carry.

One only. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Care: store away from perfume. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.
