Testing 9k. Looks so very modern, but it's Edwardian, c. 1900-1915. A bezel set rose cut carnelian dome is the center with two gold chains suspending faceted carnelian spheres at unequal lengths. Around the turn of the 20th c. jewelers started vibing on asymmetry more, and looked for ways to create movement with the body. The swinging drops were designed to draw your eye down to the boobs! The style comes from the slightly older négligée necklace, where the 2 asymmetrical pendants came from (Belle Epoque). 17" necklace length with a 1.5" and 2" drops. The clasp looks to be a modern replacement.
