Designed as a single flower, set to the center with a cluster of brilliant-cut diamonds, the petals concealingly-set with calibrĂ©-cut rubies, decorated by pavĂ©-set brilliant-cut diamond leaves and a channel-set tapered baguette and baguette diamond stem, the rubies and diamonds together weighing approximately 35.00 and 8.80 carats respectively, stem and leaves detachable, signed and numbered 71807.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rubies are of matching, medium dark, intense red colour, very clean to naked eyes. Round diamonds clustering amid the flowerhead are probably of H to I colours, SI clarity. Other round and baguette diamonds are of G to H colours, VS clarity. Signed and numbered to the reverse. Please note that the total carat weight of rubies should read approximately 135.00 carats and diamonds should read approximately 11.50 carats, not as stated in the catalogue. Condition: Very fine workmanship, mystery-setting gives a rich red colour to the petals which also have nice and natural curve depicting a real blossoming flower, in mint condition.
