Colour and Clarity: The coral and turquoise on the brooch and earrings are well matched in colour. In our opinion, the coral is of a peachy orange colour, typical banding and minimal colour variation. There are streaks of white to the reverse of the stones. The turquoise is of a light greenish blue colour, the tops present a fine polish, some with colour mottling and matrix to the side. The diamonds are about G-H colours, VS-SI clarity. Slight discoloration to the gold. Both brooch and earrings signed Van Cleef & Arpels, brooch numbered N.Y. 38053, 1967, and earrings numbered N.Y. 42819, pendant loop fitting. The ring is of a slightly saturated peach colour, some typical banding. Diamonds are about F-G colours. Signed Adler. Condition: Some signs of wear consistent with use, otherwise in good condition.
