Platinum, Emerald and Diamond Ring, Van Cleef & Arpels

Centered by a cabochon emerald weighing 17.72 carats, flanked by round, baguette and tapered baguette diamonds weighing approximately 1.20 carats, size 11¼, signed Van Cleef & Arpels.

In good condition. The emerald is a medium very slightly bluish green, moderately included with some surface reaching inclusions. It is slightly lighter than it appears in the printed catalogue. The 14 round and 22 baguette and tapered baguette diamonds are approximately H-I color, predominantly VS clarity. Inscribed 'PBDG Love PBDB.' Signed on the shoulder of the shank, so ring could be re-sized without losing the signature.

Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
