TWO PAIRS OF PENDENT EARRINGS

The first pair each suspending a sphere composed of six square citrines, surmounted by a chain of colourless sapphires, mounted in 18 karat white gold, spheres detachable; the second pair of similar design, each suspending a drop-shaped wooden pendant, decorated with brilliant-cut diamonds, to a chain of circular-cut tsavorite garnets; the citrines, colourless sapphires and tsavorite garnets altogether weighing approximately 41.50, 4.50 and 3.00 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, post fittings.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the square-cut citrines on one of the pairs are of medium yellow colour, very clean, and two or three may show very slight colour zoning upon close look. The colourless sapphires set in the surmount appear transparent to a touch of faint blue colour, very clean that a few may have chips on girdles under 10x loupe. Tsavorite garnets set on the other pair of earrings are of brilliant, grass green colour, eye clean, but a few show crystal inclusions under 10x loupe. Diamonds studded in the wooden pendants are probably of H to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: Both pairs of earrings have unusual design and settings, in mint condition.
