Description

The bangle set throughout with various shaped sapphires, decorated to the obverse with two floral motifs set with pink sapphires, tsavorite garnets and brilliant-cut diamonds, inner diameter 54.53 x 44.38 mm; and pair of matching ear clips and ring en suite; the sapphires and pink sapphires altogether weighing approximately 35.00 and 3.00 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat yellow and blackened gold. (3)

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphires are of various shades ranging from very light blue to medium intense blue colours. Pink sapphires are of about medium light to intense purplish pink colours. Tsavorite garnets are about medium intense grass-green colour. Overall, the coloured stones are clean to naked eyes and lively, but some may show minor natural inclusions as fingerprints and crystals under 10x loupe. Diamonds are probably of I to J colours, SI clarity. Condition: Pair of ear clips set with retractable ear pins. Slight tarnishing to part of the yellow gold setting upon close and careful inspection, but not noticeable in normal distance. Signs of wear, particularly the ring shank with minor scratches, otherwise in good condition.

Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
