Description

  • demantoid garnet, diamond, gold
Each suspending on five cushion-shaped demantoid garnets altogether weighing approximately 13.91 carats, highlighted by brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the hook surmount altogether weighing approximately 1.40 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the demantoid garnets are natural, with no indication of treatments. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the demantoid garnets are probably from Nambia, of strong yellowish green colour with noticeable dispersion (fire), clean to naked eyes and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions, not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about J o K colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat gold mounts, in mint condition.

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.
