Designed as the bust of a woman wearing a pointed hat, the torso composed of a carved jelly opal set with round diamonds weighing approximately 2.00 carats, the hat suspending 15 pink sapphire briolettes, signed Nardi.
Condition
In good condition. The pink sapphires are transparent medium-light to medium soft pink hue, ranging from eye-clean to moderately included. The diamonds are approximately G-H color, VVS-VS clarity. The jelly opal is transparent with a soft play-of-color. The sapphire briolettes display nice movement when worn. Please note that the head of the blackamoor is formed in silver and the body is a carved jelly opal, not moonstone, as stated in the printed catalogue.
