Platinum, 18 Karat Gold, Diamond and Ruby Brooch

Designed with a seated male figure atop an elephant adorned with an umbrella, set throughout with numerous round, single-cut and pear-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 4.75 carats, further accented with numerous round rubies.

In good condition. The diamonds are approximately H-J color, VS-SI clarity. The pear-shaped diamonds are suspended from the umbrella and move nicely when worn. The rubies are medium slightly purplish red and moderately included, some examples slightly abraded due to age. There are some small spot of discoloration to the gold but these could be fixed by a good cleaning.
