Description
- 18 karat gold, platinum, diamond, coral, lapis lazuli, dress set
Including a pair of cufflinks and three studs, the terminals set in the centers with sugarloaf lapis lazuli segments, framed by small round diamonds and coral segments, maker's marks, French assay marks.
Condition
Overall good condition. Lapis is a rich royal blue with some flecks of pyrite. The color of the lapis in the cufflinks appears to be a bit lighter and brighter than that in the studs which may be due to the size difference in the cabochons rather than the color itself. One lapis from the studs has a corner chip. The diamonds are approximately H -J color and VS-SI clarity, mounting permitting. The coral is well matched and in good shape. Mountings show very little wear.
