Pair of Platinum, Diamond and Cultured Pearl Dress Clips

The fan-shaped designs set with 24 cultured pearls measuring approximately 7.6 to 7.3 mm, accented by baguette, single and old European-cut diamonds weighing approximately 16.75 carats, one diamond missing.

In good condition. As mentioned in the catalogue, one small diamond is missing. There is light wear to the metal commensurate with gentle use and the clips maintain a strong clipping mechanism with extra spikes to assist security. The round pearls have fair to good luster and range from creamy white with soft green and pink overtones to a slightly more ivory hue with gold overtones. They exhibit minor blemishing such as uneven skins and pitting in a few instances under close magnification. The diamonds are approximately H-I color, VVS-VS clarity. The approximate length of each clip is 2 1/4 inches.
