Gold, Fire Opal, Demantoid Garnet, Diamond and Enamel Necklace and Earrings

The double-row necklace of graduated design, set with 16 buff-top fire opals, the frames highlighted with green enamel, accented by round diamonds weighing approximately 1.10 carats, further set with 36 round demantoid garnets, length 25 inches; the earrings of similar design, anchored by two buff-top fire opals, the frames applied with green enamel, accented by round diamonds weighing approximately .40 carat and one demantoid garnet.

In very good condition. The translucent fire opals range from medium to medium deep reddish orange. The demantoid garnets are a bright medium green and lightly included. The diamonds are approximately G-I color, VS clarity. One earring may have been replaced at some point, because the opals are different shapes and sizes.
