Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the three large oval-shaped quartz are of light yellowish green colour, very clean with good brilliance. The oval- and pear-shaped beryls set to the side on both ring and earrings are of very light, sky blue colour, very clean but a few may show shallow chips on girdle or crown under 10x loupe. The diamonds are of medium yellowish brown colour, SI clarity. Rock crystals set in the other suité are milky white, in good condition. Diamonds are probably of H to I colours, SI clarity. Condition: All jewellery have minor signs of wear, particularly the rock crystal ring which has relatively more noticeable abrasions to the shank, otherwise all in good condition.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
