DIAMOND 'KERONGSANG ANAK' BROOCH

The openwork brooch of circular form, set with circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 14.00 carats, decorated with a diamond-set bat motif, the diamonds together weighing approximately 2.90 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the larger circular-cut diamonds, ranging from approximately 0.70 to 1.10 carats each, are probably of H to J colours, SI to I clarity, which may have dark crystal inclusions and lightly chipped girdles. Smaller diamonds are of near-colourless to light yellow colour, similar clarity. Traditional Nyonya jewellery, the pin is left at the front rather than the back. Condition: Signs of normal wear, otherwise in good condition.
