Description

  • Van Cleef & Arpels
  • gem-set, gold, diamond, turquoise
The brooch modelled as a feather, decorated by circular-cut emeralds and brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, signed and numbered 76896. 

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Emeralds are medium green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, some emeralds have small surface chips and abrasions, natural inclusions, which are not seen to naked eyes. Signed to the back. Condition: Karat gold mount, has repair mark and metal discolouration in the middle, otherwise in good condition. This brooch is offered without reserve.
