Whimsically designed as a bird set with an oval peridot weighing 32.02 carats, the head pavé-set with sapphires and tsavorite garnets, resting on a tree branch pavé-set with circular-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white, yellow and blackened gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the peridot is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the peridot is of medium deep, strong yellowish green colour, very clean to naked eyes and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there is only a surface scratch next to a prong, not noticeable to naked eyes and otherwise very clean. Sapphires are medium deep blue colour, tsavorite garnets are saturated grass green colour, all clean to naked eyes and lively. Colourless diamonds together weighing approximately 0.80 carat are about G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Whimsical setting, in mint condition.
