A 10k gold and diamond 1990 New York Giants Super Bowl pendant owned by Charlie Conerly, quarterback for the New York Giants from 1948-1961, and later a "Marlboro Man" actor in cigarette commercials.

Though Conerly's NFL career ended in 1961, he remained close friends with the Mara family (owners of the Giants franchise), and they would gift him with commemorative jewelry whenever the Giants won the Super Bowl, including in 1986 and 1990. The pendant was originally part of a set of cufflinks, which were later custom-made into pendants by Conerly's wife, Perian, and gifted to the daughters of another group of family friends.

The pendant exhibits a cushion-shaped outline centering on a pair of twin marquise-cut diamonds within a lapis lazuli plaque and circular-cut diamond borders, around which is the caption “GIANTS - WORLD CHAMPIONS ” mounted in 10k gold. The verso is marked LGB 10k and engraved “Charles Conerly.”

Weight: 16.6 grams. Features two marquise-cut diamonds (gauged to weigh approximately 0.50 carats total) and sixteen circular-cut diamonds (gauged to weigh approximately 0.36 carats total) with good color and clarity (H/SI2).

Accompanied by a notarized Letter of Provenance documenting the pendant's history.

0.75 x 1 x 0.25 in; 1.91 x 2.54 x 0.64 cm

Approximately: 0.75 x 1 x 0.25 inches
