ROCK CRYSTAL, DIAMOND AND GEM-SET 'FROG' ORNAMENT, Boucheron

Designed as a frog carved frog rock crystal, the eyes accented by a cabochon tiger's-eye quartz, embellished with brilliant-cut diamonds, seated atop a lily pad of carved green hardstone, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, signed and numbered P93450, with French assay marks and maker's mark.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rock crystal is very clean to naked eyes, colourless and transparent. Two cabochon tiger's-eye quartz are of dark brown with very distinct yellowish chatoyant line upon illumination. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. The carved lily-pad base is natural green hardstone, probably chalcedony. Signed with French assay and maker's marks. Condition: Very fine and lively craftsmanship, the ornament is in very good condition, with original signed fitted wooden box.
