Gem-Set and Diamond Bracelet, Van Cleef & Arpels

The bracelet composed of circular-cut rubies, sapphires and emeralds together weighing approximately 2.70 carats, bordered by circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 3.10 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, length approximately 170 mm, signed VCA and numbered NY 52676.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the coloured stones are of strong red, blue and intense green colour, eye clean. Under loupe check, some stones have natural inclusions, particularly to the emeralds which may also have minor surface fissures, but all features not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about I to J colours, VS clarity. Signed VCA to the tongue and numbered to the catch. Condition: This bracelet is offered without reserve. Karat yellow gold mount, with signs of normal wear, otherwise in very good condition.
