Description

  • 18K WG, diamond
Set with an articulated pear-shaped yellow diamond weighing approximately 6.25 carats, within a frame set with old European- and old mine-cut coloured diamonds of various hues, surmounted by a marquise-shaped yellow diamond, the coloured diamonds together weighing approximately 7.70 carats, bordered by old European-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the center diamond weighing approximately 6.25 carats is of fancy yellow colour, VS2-SI1 based on a chip on the girdle. The surrounding diamonds are of purplish pink, light yellow, light to deep brownish, orangy brown, greenish yellow, grayish blue, and intense yellow colours, mostly SI clarity, good brilliance. The smaller old-cut diamonds are about H-I colours, SI1 clarity. Condition: Some signs of wear, otherwise in very good condition. Charming pendant.
