DIAMOND BROOCH

Designed as a ribbon bow decorated with millegrain pavé-set with circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.00 carat, accentuated with articulated tassels, anchored by a bell-shaped openworked cap composed of twenty-four seed pearls, calibré-cut rubies and similar-cut diamonds, mounted in 14 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are probably of H to I colours, VS to SI clarity. Seed pearls are round to naked eyes, of cream white colour with medium to good lustre. Tiny square-cut rubies are intense red colour with pleasant brilliance. Condition: The long tassel drops are articulated, giving a nice flow and "life" to the brooch. Signs of wear and abrasions to the metal, which commensurate with age and use, otherwise in good condition.
