DIAMOND NECKLACE

Designed to the front with triple swags of graduated circular-cut diamonds, spaced by baguette diamonds, to a similarly-set chain, joined by a buckle-shaped motif set with baguette diamonds, the circular-cut and baguette diamonds together weighing approximately 64.60 and 9.55 carats respectively, mounted in platinum, length approximately 405mm, numbered D7429.

Colour and Clarity: Round diamonds to the front weigh approximately almost a carat to 1.85 carats each. In our opinion, these diamonds are probably of F to H colours, SI clarity. Some stones have slightly milky appearance under 10x loupe, which may be caused by the presence of microscopic inclusions. Baguette diamonds are about F to G colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: The links are all articulated. The necklace sits well on neck, giving a grand appearance. Overall in very good condition, almost as new.
