Pair of 18 Karat White Gold, Pearl, Emerald and Diamond Earclips, Fred Leighton

Set with pear-shaped cabochons emeralds, supporting pearl pendants measuring approximately 13.0 by 10.8 mm. and 12.7 by 10.5 mm., accented by round diamonds weighing approximately 1.25 carats, signed FL for Fred Leighton.

The medium-deep bluish green emeralds well-matched for shape and color. Inclusions not readily eye visible; one emerald with light abrading as well as small reflective inclusions that look like abrading near the apex. Diamonds are approximately F to H color, VS clarity. Mountings in very good condition. The semi-baroque silvery white pearls present faint pink, green and blue overtones and waxy luster. Both pearls with surface irregularities; one with peeling skin on the reverse. Pendants do not detach.
