The necklace decorated as a floral festoon of flower head links, the petals encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds, to the diamond-set centres mounted en tremblant accentuated with rubies, emeralds and sapphires, embellished with curled tapered baguette diamond leaves set at intervals, length approximately 400mm; and a ring of matching design, the rubies, sapphires and emeralds altogether weighing approximately 9.60 carats and diamonds approximately 30.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold. (2)
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the smaller circular-cut and tapered diamonds are probably of H to J colours, VS to SI clarity; while larger round diamonds set in the middle of each flowerhead are about K to L colours, similar clarity. Rubies, emeralds and sapphires show intense visual colours of red, green and blue, clean to naked eyes.
Condition: Necklace with en tremblant flower heads gives a lively appearance. Overall both the necklace and ring are in very good condition.
