(Please note the colored diamonds have not been tested for natural origin of color.) The interchangeable bottoms are colors depicting turquoise, coral and citrine, but are probably assembled turquoise, assembled coral and amber colored glass; the amber-hued bottoms are more orange than depicted in the printed catalogue.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
