PINK SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND BROOCH AND PAIR OF MATCHING EAR CLIPS

The brooch modelled as two flowers, set with circular-cut pink sapphires and brilliant-cut diamonds; and pair of matching ear clips, clip and post fittings, with retractable post; the pink sapphires and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 30.70 and 5.30 carats, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold. (2)

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the pink sapphires are matchings, of very intense purplish pink colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions and a few stones may have surface pits, but not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about I to K colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat blackened gold, earclips with retractable ear pins, overall in very good condition. This lot is offered without reserve.
