The center aquamarine weighs 66.28 and is slightly loose in its setting and the V-shaped prongs are sharp, but the stone is secure. It is a lively medium light greenish blue color and is eye clean.

Heavy, well made and in good condition. Hinged at two places to allow placement onto wrist. Some gold solder repair apparent on the underside, otherwise in good condition overall. Two tiny diamonds missing on the rim of one of the round aquamarines at the back of the bracelet. Please note that the hinged terminals have become loose and will be repaired for the purchaser by Sotheby's.
