Description

  • Van Cleef & Arpels
  • gold, diamond, sapphire
Centered by an oval-shaped diamond weighing approximately 2.90 carats, framed by invisibly-set sapphires, size 6, signed Van Cleef & Arpels, numbered C.S 3257, with French assay and workshop marks, one sapphire missing.

Condition

In good condition. The diamond is approximately D-E color, VS2-SI1 clarity. Due to the way the diamond is set we are unable to get an exact weight, color, or clarity. The calibré-cut sapphires are medium slightly violetish blue, well-matched for color and eye clean. One sapphire is missing per the catalogue entry. The gold with some moderate scratching due to wear. The maker's mark and assay marks are on the outside of the shank so any sizing to the band needs to be done carefully.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.

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.
