SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND NECKLACE, Harry Winston

Of floral motif design, set with cabochon sapphires together weighing approximately 38.50 carats, decorated by brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 35.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, length approximately 440mm, signed.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cabochon sapphires are matching, of deep, strong blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, some sapphires have surface-reaching inclusions and fissures, not seen to naked eyes, and some other sapphires are quite clean. Diamonds are about I to J colours, VS clarity. Signed. Condition: Karat yellow gold mount, with signs of normal wear, overall in good condition.
