Pair of 18 Karat Gold, Diamond, Sapphire and Cultured Pearl Earclips, Tallarico

The tops set with round diamonds weighing approximately 7.30 carats, with interchangeable tassels composed of faceted sapphire beads and cultured pearls measuring approximately 6.91 to 2.79 mm. With signed pouch.

In very good condition. The tops set with 48 round brilliant-cut diamonds, approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity. The sapphire beads are lighter than they appear in the printed catalogue, they are medium to medium light slightly violetish blue and generally well-matched for color. They range from moderately to heavily included and some beads are chipped. The fringes move when worn and the beads' facets catch the light beautifully. The pearls are round and slightly off round, with moderate to strong rose and green overtones, medium luster and some blemishing to the skins. The tassels are easily removed via a safety closure on the reverse of the diamond tops and can be worn independently.
