RED AND WHITE CORAL AND DIAMOND BROOCH

Designed as a floral blossom composed of two flower heads, one set with petals composed of carved white coral, the other with petals of carved red coral, the centres set en tremblant with clusters of rose-cut diamonds, interspersed throughout with similarly-cut diamond buds, suspending vines and foliage embellished with brilliant-cut diamonds, together the diamonds weighing approximately 6.15 carats, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold. 

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved coral petals are of cream white and slightly orangy red colour respectively. Diamonds are probably of H to I colours, VS to SI1 clarity. Condition: Good workmanship, en tremblant diamond stamen and articulating vines, in mint condition.
