CORAL, CULTURED PEARL, DIAMOND AND GEM-SET PENDANT NECKLACE

The detachable pendants composed of a coral carved as a single rose measuring approximately 42.08 x 30.40 x 11.62mm, surmounted by a white cultured pearl and a tumbled fluorite, anchored by two detachable pendants each composed of a grey cultured pearl measuring approximately 12.50 to 13.50mm and aquamarines altogether weighing approximately 18.00 carats, interspersed throughout with circular-cut diamonds and green sapphires, decorated with white gold coral branches, completed by a cultured pearl necklace accented by tsavorite garnet spacers, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 390mm, signed Loang & Noi.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved coral 'rose' is of even, medium reddish orange colour, very good craftsmanship. Small cultured pearls are nearly round, of cream white colour with slight rose overtone, surface clean with very good lustre. The larger white cultured pearl is of slightly button shape, but facing up round, white colour with very slight rose overtone, good lustre with very minor surface blemishes. Two Tahitian cultured pearls are in baroque drop shape, of light to medium bluish grey colour, good lustre. One fluorite set atop the coral flower is of medium bluish green colour, eye clean. Four aquamarines set in pendant drop are of medium sky blue colour, slightly included to naked eyes. Tiny green sapphires and tsavorite garnets are of medium light green and intense grass green colours respectively. Condition: Very interesting and exotic design, pendant is detachable and every single section of the pendant can be further detached to give different length and look. Overall in very good condition.
