EMERALD AND DIAMOND PARURE, M.Gerard

The subtle collar formed as a neckband composed of five rows of brilliant-cut diamonds and circular-cut emeralds, length approximately 340mm; the matching bracelet composed of four rows of similarly-cut diamonds and emeralds, length approximately 175mm; the ring centring on a scroll of brilliant-cut diamonds, flanked by circular-cut emeralds; and a pair of similarly-set ear clips of curled form, clip fittings; the diamonds and emeralds altogether weighing approximately 51.10 and 53.00 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white gold, signed and numbered 2970, 2972, 2985 and 2971 respectively, French assay and marker's mark. (4)

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds in entire parure are probably of E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity, very nice brilliance. Emeralds are generally of medium green colour, slightly included to naked eyes, which is very common to natural emeralds. Under 10x loupe, there are natural inclusions and surface reaching chips. All pieces are signed, numbered, with maker's marks and French assay marks. Accompanied with signed presentation box. Together the emeralds and diamonds on the necklace weighing approximately 28.00 and 33.00 carats respectively, on bracelet approximately 12.50 and 12.00 carats respectively, on ring approximately 3.60 and 2.00 carats respectively; and on earrings approximately 7.00 and 6.00 carats respectively. Condition: Workmanship is very good that all stones are precisely set, giving very lively appearance to the entire suite. The clasps on both necklace and bracelet are still very well functioned. Some minor signs of wear, otherwise in very good condition.
