Measurements: Weight is 13.9 grams. Just under 2 1/4 inches (5.7cm) long. 0.50ct colored stones; 0.58ct diamonds - F-G color. Description : Art Deco design. Gold geometric form with strong angles that seem to turn and fold upon themselves. Left and right are mirror images of one another. The part that holds money bills has a deep 'v' shape outlined in calibre set rubies. Rubies well matched and of a good pink-red color. Within the 'v' are pave set diamonds. The top of the 'v' is a line of diamonds, with round terminals, set with cabochon rubies. Diamonds are set in white gold, as has been the custom for centuries. Workmanship is outstanding as is design. Most impressive.

They were entitled to use the terms 'jewellers to the Crown' - the Royal warrant being awarded to them initially by Queen Victoria and then by every British monarch since that time. To this day, they are renowned for their custom made items and sell to heads of state and royalty throughout the world.

Clasps, closures, bar hinges, arms and pins are routinely of a lower karat for strength.
