Description

  • gold, diamond, emerald, earclips
The tops designed as flowerheads set with carved emerald beads, accented by round diamonds, supporting multi-strand pendants composed of faceted and carved emerald beads, capped by round diamonds, pendants detachable.

Condition

Good condition with wonderful movement. The medium slightly bluish green emeralds have an attractive, slightly "watery" appearance. Less intensely colored and less blue than indicated by the printed catalogue illustration. The carved beads are moderately to heavily included with some surface-reaching fissures and cavities. The faceted beads are moderately included. The round diamonds are approximately 9.40 carats, H-J color, VS-SI clarity. Each earclip weighs approximately 38 grams. The clips are currently fitted with rubber pads, allowing for more secure and comfortable wear. Posts may be added if desired.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. 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.
