The brooch designed as a dragonfly set with marquise-shaped yellow sapphires, the thorax highlighted by brilliant-cut diamonds; and pair of ear clips of similar design, clip fittings; the yellow sapphires and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 28.90 and 1.70 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, signed.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphires are of an orangy yellow hue, with natural cloud and included crystal inclusions under 10x loupe but not noticeable when worn. Some are surface reaching. The diamonds are about H-I colours, VS clarity. Condition: In very good condition.
