18 Karat Gold, Yellow Sapphire and Wood Bracelet and Matching Earclips, Seaman Schepps

The curb link bracelet, with five carved wooden links, the other links set with numerous round yellow sapphires, length 8 inches, signed Seaman Schepps, numbered 13401, one sapphire missing; the earclips of similar design, with two carved wooden segments, accented by numerous round yellow sapphires, signed Seaman Schepps, numbered 11938. With two signed boxes.

In very good condition. The sapphires range from medium light yellow to a medium dark yellow, all stones are eye-clean. Some examples have slight abrasions to the facet junctions, but these are not visible when worn. The wood on the bracelet is slightly darker than the wood in the earclips and the wood on the earclips is less red than it appears in the printed catalogue. This wood has been identified as Burma Padudk wood. Very light scratching to the gold.
