PAIR OF JADEITE, TSAVORITE GARNET AND DIAMOND 'FLOWER' EAR CLIPS, Lydia Courteille

Each set with a carved jadeite flower measuring approximately 31.45 x 31.14 x 11.80mm, accentuated with diamond-set scrolls, with a pavé-set tsavorite garnet frog resting on a petal, suspending fringes decorated with tsavorite garnets, anchored by a similarly-set frog, mounted in 18 karat white and blackened gold, clip and retractable post fittings.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the two carved jadeite flower is translucent, of celadon tone, with slightly cloudy inclusions which are not noticeable when worn. Tsavorite garnets are of saturated, grass green colour, except a few pieces of lighter tone on the dangling fringe, eye clean. Tiny diamonds together weighing approximately 0.70 carat, are probably of F to G colours, VS2 to SI1 clarity. Condition: Creative design and good workmanship, in mint condition.
