This sweet 14k yellow gold pendant is shaped bow and set with several rose-cut diamonds in closed, silver settings. Traditionally, this was done because the silver helps bring out the colour and brilliance of the diamonds, while the gold back prevents the silver from tarnishing and staining skin or clothing. It is wonderfully executed, with an almost sculpted appearance, making it look like a genuine little bow.
