PAIR OF DIAMOND CUFFLINKS AND DIAMOND 'HORSE HEAD' TIE PIN

The square-shaped cufflinks each centring on a cluster of brilliant-cut diamonds, within a ribbed border and backing of 18 karat yellow gold; and the tie pin of trigonal form, centring on a diamond cut in the shape of a horse head weighing approximately 3.00 carats, accented by pavé-set brilliant-cut diamonds to the edges, stainless steel pin lock fitting; mounted in 18 karat white gold. (2)

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the 'horsehead' diamond set on the pin is probably of H colour, VS2 to SI1 clarity, showing a small dark crystal at corner and tiny feather on pavilion. Surrounding round diamonds are about G to H colours, I clarity. Diamonds set in the cufflinks are about G to H colours, VVS to VS clarity. Condition: The tie pin is almost as new; while the pair of cufflinks shows minor wear signs, otherwise in very good condition.
