The design culminates in a 3.5-inch tassel featuring diamond-set gold cap with carved rock crystal and black onyx bead fringe strands. Multiple full-cut diamonds totaling 0.85 carats accent the tassel cap and connector elements throughout the necklace. Gold elements have tested consistently as 18K yellow gold.
