Pair of baroque cultured pearl and diamond earclips, David Webb

Baroque cultured pearls measuring approximately 15.9 by 12.6 mm. and 15.2 by 12.8 mm., baguette and round diamonds weighing approximately 9.85 carats, mounted in platinum, signed Webb.

Very good condition. Slightly silvery white pearls, one with a touch more cream to its body color (at left in catalogue illustration), but this is negligible when worn. Faint pink and green overtones, satin-like luster, typical irregularities but no apparent noduling or pitting, minor peeling of skin to one pearl. Diamonds are approximately F to G color, VVS to VS clarity.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
