DIAMOND NECKLACE AND RING

The articulated necklace composed of seven sections each set with triple rows of brilliant-cut diamonds, terminated by similarly-set D-shaped motifs, linked by a brilliant-cut diamond, the diamonds together weighing approximately 10.00 carats, length approximately 400mm, retractable pendant loop fitting; and the ring set with a brilliant-cut diamond weighing approximately 2.45 carats, bordered by brilliant-cut diamonds and flanked by tapered baguette diamonds together weighing approximately 1.30 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the principle diamond on the ring is probably of K to L colours, VVS2 to VS1 clarity, strong blue fluorescence. Other small round and baguette diamonds are about J to K colours, mostly VS clarity. The small round diamonds on necklace are probably of I to J colours, VS clarity. Condition: Signs of wear and minor abrasions to the ring mount, consistent to use. Overall, both pieces are in good to very good condition.
