Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the citrines are generally very clean and lively. Those citrines on necklace are of medium deep brownish yellow colour, and the others on bracelet are of slightly deep, intense brownish yellow orange colour. Upon 10x loupe, all citrines are quite clean with only some minor surface abrasions or scratches, commensurated with age. One citrine on necklace has a chip on the crown, not seen to naked eyes. Cabochon turquoises are of medium sky blue to greenish blue colour, with typical matrix veins upon loupe check, not noticeable to naked eyes and do not distract the visual beauty. Diamonds are about H to I clarity, VS to SI1, generally diamonds on bracelet have better clarity than necklace. Both are signed Cartier Paris and numbered, but the numbers are partially rubbed off, with platinum and French assay marks. Condition: Vintage necklace and bracelet, with normal abrasions to the metal, otherwise both in good condition.
