- diamond, sapphire, platinum, white gold
Composed of twenty cushion-shaped sapphires together weighing 46.44 carats, interspersed with pear-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 39.55 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat white gold, length approximately 165mm, signed David Webb.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and SSEF reports, the sapphires are natural, of Kashmir origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are generally matching, of intense blue colour, eye clean with nice face-up brilliance. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural crystal and fingerprint inclusions. A few sapphires may have surface nicks or pits on their crown, but not seen to naked eyes and very common in natural sapphires. Diamonds are about F to H colours, VS clarity. Signed and numbered to the clasp.
Condition: Nice workmanship giving light and soft flow to the bracelet, overall in very good condition.
