PAIR OF FANCY ORANGY PINK DIAMOND, BLACK DIAMOND AND DIAMOND PENDENT EARRINGS

Each modelled as a ladle motif, housing an oscillating pear-shaped fancy orangy pink diamond weighing 3.63 and 3.10 carats respectively, the ladle encrusted throughout with circular-cut black diamonds, enhanced by brilliant-cut diamonds, the black diamonds and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 7.30 carats, mounted in 18 karat pink and blackened gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to GIA reports, both pink diamonds are natural, of Fancy Orangy Pink colour, and one is of VS2 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the two diamonds have matching colour and nice outline, showing noticeable pink colour against the open-back claw-set mounts. Well proportions and nice cutting give good brilliance and not much bow-tie. In our opinion, the other pink diamond is probably of SI clarity, having a feather on its pavilion to the side which is not very noticeable to face-up loupe check. Black diamonds are opaque with high lustrous surface. Near-colourless diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: The pink diamonds are articulated, giving extra movement and sparkling to the earrings. Very unusual and chic design, in excellent condition.
