CORAL AND DIAMOND 'SKULL' RING, AND PAIR OF MATCHING PENDENT EARRINGS

The ring centring on a carved pink coral skull, within a pavé-set diamond flower head, enhanced by two similarly-set diamond snakes, their tails entwined to the shank; and a pair of pendent earrings, each set with two pink and red coral skull carvings, suspending from a pavé-set diamond snake, its tail on the ear back; altogether the near-colourless and brown diamonds weighing approximately 6.40 carats, mounted in 18 karat white and blackened gold. (2)

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved coral 'skull' set on ring is of soft pinkish orange colour, with minor swirling pattern to its top. The coral 'skulls' set on the pendent earrings are of soft pinkish orange and intense orangy red colours respectively, with slight colour patches or texture layers upon close look, but are not seen when worn. Near-colourless diamonds are of G to H colours, and the coloured diamonds are about medium brown colour, generally of VS2 to SI clarity. Diamonds set throughout the shank, ring size not adjustable and current size is 6. Condition: Chic design, in very good condition.
