DIAMOND 'FLOWER BASKET' BROOCH / PENDANT

Suspending on a pear-shaped old mine-cut diamond weighing approximately 2.80 carats, surrounded by a diamond-set basket and leaves, anchored by pear- and cushion-shaped diamonds, one diamond deficient, brooch fitting; completed by a detachable link-chain necklace decorated with a diamond-set ribbon bow, length approximately 400mm, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 3.20 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the pear-shaped diamond set in the middle is probably of M to N colour, I1 clarity, large culet. Other diamonds are of about J to very light yellow colours, SI to I clarity. The detachable pendant can be worn separately as brooch. Condition: One small diamond on the pendant is deficient. Minor dents and scratches to the mount, otherwise in good condition.
