Pair of Sapphire and Diamond 'Flower' Earclips, Van Cleef & Arpels

Each designed as a flowerhead, the petals invisibly-set with calibré-cut sapphires, the centre highlighted by brilliant-cut diamonds, the sapphires and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 12.00 and 3.50 carats respectively, mounted in platinum, signed VCA and numbered N.Y.35018.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphires are of strong blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, the sapphires are quite clean with minor surface abrasions on crown, not seen to naked eyes. Round diamonds are about E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity. Signed and numbered to the clip backs. Condition: Signs of normal wear to the mount, and minor repair marks in-between the sapphires, otherwise in good condition.
