Each open work clip of shield design, set with circular- and single-cut diamonds; together with a later hinged bangle, the terminals can be fitted with two of the clips, bangle unillustrated,

Clips stamped Pt950 for platinum, with Austrian assay marks. Total diamond weight approximately 6.00-8.00 carats, mixed in colours and clarities. Evidence of soldering at the back of the clips, they were most probably part of another jewel and were converted into clips at a later date.
