Description
- Buccellati
- gold, silver, opal, tourmaline, diamond, garnet
Centered by an oval-shaped opal measuring approximately 18.4 by 15.3 mm, within openwork surrounds set with sapphires, pink tourmalines and demantoid garnets, bordered by numerous rose-cut diamonds weighing approximately .35 carat, signed Buccellati Italy, with maker's marks.
Condition
In good condition, the silver top typically tarnished. The opal shows an intense interplay of color, with some very minor matrix and crazing visible under magnification. The 61 diamonds are near colorless and decorative in quality. The colored stones are decorative in quality and complement nicely the colors seen in the opal. Marked gb for Gianmaria Buccellati.
