18K GOLD, ENAMEL, TURQUOISE AND DIAMOND EARCLIPS, DAVID WEBB

10 diamonds approx 0.50 ct.

Good condition with light surface wear to the gold. There is a sliver of enamel loss to the perimeter of one earclip as well as some very minor chipping to the main body of the enamelling, but all losses are shallow and do not expose the gold ground. In addition, there are some irregularities to the enamel work, but this does not detract from the overall appearance. The tops are set with faceted, medium light, slightly greenish blue turquoises bordered by gold ropetwists. Completed by round-cut diamonds, approx G-H color, VS clarity. Each earclip is formed from a single element (the hoops aren't articulated). Each backing signed Webb. With removeable earpads for more comfortable wear. 1 5/16".
