Multi-colored sapphire and diamond long chain necklace

Collet-set with oval multi-colored sapphires weighing a total of approximately 298.85 carats, round diamonds weighing approximately 14.00 carats, completed by a barrel clasp pavé-set with small round diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length 100 inches.

Very good condition. 4 sapphires were randomly selected for testing by the AGL; results indicated that all 4 of the sapphires are natural with no indications of heat enhancement. The 183 sapphires in shades of pink, red, yellow, green and blue are more muted in color than suggested by the printed catalogue illustration; eye clean to lightly included, some with minor color zoning. The 32 round diamonds are approximately H-I color, VS-SI clarity.

Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
