Beautiful estate ruby and diamond drop pendant 14k white gold

A stunning ruby and diamond pendant - one of a kind creation that I got in 2002 directly from William S. Nacol Jewelry, an independent jewelry store in Louisiana, operating since the 1970s. The rubies are the classic pigeon's blood red color with excellent clarity, but still showing some inclusions. The diamonds are bright and sparkly. Unsure of clarity but no visible issues to my eyes. The pendant from the bottom to the top of the bail is 27mm. The largest ruby is 3.7mm wide. The chain length is 18.5 inches. Chain is also 14k gold. In lovely used condition with wear and marks typical (as shown in photos) with for a vintage/estate piece of jewelry. Scuffs can only be seen under major magnification and can be polished out by a professional jeweler. Comes with a nice generic black velvet necklace box for presentation purposes. Please reach out with questions. Current retail price on this piece would be about $1,500. Open to reasonable offers.
