Sapphire and Diamond Necklace and Pair of Matching Earclips, Bulgari

The necklace suspending to the front with five cabochon sapphires fringes weighing approximately 23.00 carats, decorated by circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 13.80 carats, length approximately 365mm; and the matching pair of earclips, each centring on a cabochon sapphire altogether weighing approximately 7.00 carats, decorated by circular-cut diamonds, signed Bulgari; both mounted in 18 karat yellow gold. (2)

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cabochon sapphires are matching, of medium light blue colour, eye clean. Under 10x loupe, there are a few minor fingerprint and crystal inclusions, but not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about H to I colours, VS clarity. All signed Bvlgari. Condition: Slight discolouration to the back of the karat yellow gold mount on one ear clip, not seen to the obverse. Signs of wear to the mounts, otherwise all in good condition.
