Description

  • Cultured Pearl, Diamond, Gold
Designed as a stag beetle, set with two cultured pearls measuring approximately 17.70 x 19.30 x 17.85mm and 17.60 x 18.80 x 17.75mm respectively, the legs and antler pavĂ©-set with circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 3.80 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cultured pearls are of semi-baroque shape, silver tone with good lustre, moderate surface blemishes and slight nacre discolouration, particularly on one cultured pearl, but generally not noticeable when worn. Diamonds are mostly of G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Some minor signs of wear to the karat white gold mount, otherwise in very good condition.
