ALEXANDRITE AND DIAMOND DEMI-PARURE

Comprising: a necklace centring on five step-cut alexandrites,  surrounded by marquise-shaped diamonds, accentuated by pairs of pear-shaped alexandrites, completed by a tapering double strand of brilliant-cut diamonds inset with graduated marquise-shaped alexandrites; accompanied by a ring and pair of ear clips en suite, clip and post fittings; the alexandrites altogether weighing approximately 16.70 carats and diamonds approximately 23.40 carats, mounted in platinum. (3)

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the alexandrites set in the suite are well-matched, displaying pronounced colour change from bluish-green to purple colours in different lightings. They are all very clean, most of them do not show any inclusion under 10x loupe. The round and marquise diamonds are generally of E to F colours, VS clarity. Condition: Very elegant design, in mint condition.
