Designed as snowflakes set with numerous round diamonds weighing 5.70 carats, signed VCA, numbered BL 48700 and BL 48695, with French assay and workshop marks.
Condition
In good condition with minimal surface wear to the mountings. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity. One of the clips would benefit from tightening. Signed VCA on one pyramid shaped tip on each earclip and numbered on a straight ray on each earclip. Approximately 1 3/8 x 1 3/8 inches. Gross weight approximately 14 dwts. Due to the earlcips bearing two different serial numbers, it is possible they were converted from a pair of brooches.
