Description
Designed as a single Anthurium plant, the leaf and spadix set with a carved pink coral and yellow jadeite respectively, the coral and jadeite measuring approximately 39.65 x 36.05 x 8.25 and 24.80 x 5.65 x 5.80mm respectively, completed by a stem set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold, signed.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the coral is of medium, orangy pink colour, with fine and subtle natural curved striations which are observed only upon very close inspection. Yellow jadeite stigma has good translucency, in bright honey yellow hue. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.50 carat, are probably of H to I colours, VS clarity. Signed and dated to the reverse.
Condition: Unique and limited handmade jewellery by Kung Tsung Tzu, in mint condition.
