We Have a Bone To Pick with You. . .

. . . and it's doggone gorgeous!

   

Of 18 karat white gold sprinkled with sparkling diamonds, this would be the perfect gift to get you out of the doghouse or to treat yourself if you've been a "good girl."


This pretty petite pendant is from the "Tiny Treasures" line of famed jeweler, Roberto Coin. Born in 1944 in Vicenza, Italy, Coin originally was trained in the hotel trade. However, in 1977, he returned to his birthplace to satisfy his creative passion and study jewelry design. He launched his eponymous brand in 1996. Coin is committed to sustainability, planting trees to neutralize the carbon footprint of his enterprises and ensuring that his diamonds are certified to come from legitimate, conflict-free sources. This whimsical pendant is stamped "18k" and carries Coin's initials, "RC."

Another signature of Coin is that every piece is set with a tiny red ruby on the underside, his secret gift to the wearer. Coin was inspired after reading the ancient Egyptians believed that rubies brought happiness, health, and love.


The original minute clasp appears to have been replaced with a larger one in sterling silver, no doubt to make it easier for the wearer to put on and remove the necklace.
