Description
Designed as two fanciful lovebirds perched side by side on an onyx branch, the bodies set throughout with brilliant-cut diamonds, accented by onyx-set eyes and beaks, mounted in platinum, signed and numbered 608840.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity. Signed and numbered to the side.
Condition: Onyx parts are generally intact, that there may have a few minor surface pits on the beak under 10x loupe and careful check. Signs of wear to the metal consistent to use, otherwise in good condition.
