bidding is closed
Description
- Gourds approximately 13.42 x 7.68 x 3.96mm to 14.16 x 8.24 x 3.00mm.
Each designed as a cascade of brilliant-cut diamonds, supporting three jadeite gourds of translucent apple green colour, terminated by an articulated brilliant-cut diamond, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the jadeite gourds are of translucent medium apple green colour. There are some natural brownish/darker green streaks and minor white specks on some of the gourds which are not noticeable in normal lighting or when worn. The diamonds are probably of G-H colour, VS clarity.
Condition: In very good condition.
