LAPIS LAZULI, ENAMEL AND DIAMOND BROOCH

Modelled as three whimsical poppy pods, each centring on a sugar loaf cabochon lapis lazuli, embellished by green enamel and brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds weighing approximately 0.25 carat, are about lightly tinted colour, VS clarity. The three lapis lazuli are matching, of strong violetish blue colour. The largest lapis, upon 10x loupe, there are some typical pyrite inclusions. Condition: Enamel paint is generally intact. Karat gold and white gold mount, signs of wear and minor surface abrasions to the metal, overall in good condition.
