Description
The first pair each suspending a drop-shaped black ebony, decorated with brilliant-cut diamonds, surmounted by rose-cut black diamonds; the second pair of similar design, each suspending a drop-shaped white agate, surmounted by colourless sapphires; the black diamonds and colourless sapphires altogether weighing approximately 4.40 and 3.45 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white gold, pendant detachable. (2)
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the black diamonds are opaque with strong surface lustre. The colourless stones set atop the ebony drops are colourless sapphires, which are clean to naked eyes and lively. Diamonds studded into the drops are probably of H to I colours, VS to SI clarity. The white agate drops are of pure ceramic white colour. Ebony drops are probably with lacquer polish, giving shiny finish.
Condition: All drops are detachable and inter-changeable. Overall in very good condition.
