Description

Composed of an oblong carved and pierced jade plaque within an openwork frame set with single-cut diamonds and applied with black enamel, mounted in platinum and gold. 

Condition

Overall very good condition. Diamonds are I-J color, VS-SI clarity. Minor damage to the black enameling in two places, not noticeable with the naked eye. Nice quality carving to the jade, corresponding with the color mottling.
