YELLOW DIAMOND AND SAPPHIRE BRACELET, Cartier

The supple bracelet of speckled motif design, composed of brilliant-cut yellow diamonds and variously-shaped sapphires together weighing approximately 7.50 and 4.50 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, length approximately 170mm, signed Cartier Paris and numbered 214862, with French assay marks.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the yellow diamonds are probably in medium to vivid saturation, VS to SI clarity. Buff-topped sapphires are slightly inky blue, eye clean, which a few may have surface abrasions under 10x loupe. Signed "Cartier Paris" and numbered, with French assay mark on the clasp. Condition: Minute signs of wear to the mount and a link shows minor distortion which should possibly be fixed by professional service. Otherwise in good condition.
