DIAMOND PENDANT

Suspending a detachable pear-shaped diamond weighing 14.68 carats, completed by a V-shaped necklace composed of brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 11.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 420mm.

Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report dated 1978, the pear-shaped diamond is of H colour, Flawless clarity, with Strong Blue fluorescence. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, this diamond has a slightly long but nice outline. Strong fluorescence does not affect the visual colour or appearance of this pear-shaped diamond under normal lighting. Small round diamonds on necklace are probably of G to H colours, mostly VS with a few of SI1 clarity. Condition: Pendant is detachable, overall in very good condition.
