Description

  • silver, 18 karat gold, garnet, pink opal, diamond, earclips
Composed of circular chrysoprase segments measuring approximately 30.0 mm., set at the sides with cabochon pink opals measuring approximately 18.0 mm., accented by single-cut diamonds weighing approximately 3.60 carats, signed JAR, Paris, French assay marks.  With signed box and pouch.

Condition

The 4 cabochon opals are a creamy light pink with smooth surfaces and good luster. The two chrysoprases are a medium, translucent green with dark flecks of color mottling, adding to the artistic design of the earrings. The 212 single-cut diamonds are all near colorless and decorative in quality. The earrings are heavy and may not stay put on everyone's ears depending on the size of the earlobe. It may be possible to add posts by applying the post finding directly to the chrysoprase. In very good condition.
