Set at the front with 18 marquise-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 47.00 carats, spaced by 18 emerald-cut emeralds weighing approximately 11.00 carats, length 17 inches; circa 1910.
Condition
In good condition. The additional marquise-cut diamonds are approximately E-G color and VS-SI clarity. The emeralds are a rich medium slightly bluish green color and are slightly to moderately included, brighter than they appear in the printed catalogue. Several of the emeralds are chipped and most are abraded at the facet junctions, but remain stable in their mountings, apart from one that is significantly chipped at a corner and is not held by a prong at the present time. Supple and lays nicely on the neck. Fitted with a safety closure that folds upward from underneath the clasp. Accompanied by 3 GIA reports: No. 1152294853 stating that the 5.34 carat diamond is E color, VS2 clarity, no. 1152294850 stating that the 4.81 carat diamond is E color, VS2 clarity and no. 2155294856 stating that the 4.13 carat diamond is D color, SI1 clarity.
