Description
- Gold, diamond
The crescent-shaped motif, each composed of eight oval turquoise cabochons, decorated by circular-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold, clip fittings.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cabochon turquoises are of matching and even, strong sky blue colour. Minor surface abrasions upon 10x check, commensurating with age. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.80 carat are G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Vintage karat white gold mount, slight discolouration and signs of wear to the metal which are not noticeable, otherwise in good condition.
