Pair of Emerald, Ruby and Diamond Earclips, David Webb

Each suspending a carved emerald together weighing approximately 50.00 carats, within the circular-cut rubies and diamond surround, to a textured gold knot surmount embellished with circular-cut rubies and diamonds, the rubies and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 4.80 and 1.20 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold, signed Webb.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved emeralds are of light medium green colour, and under the 10x loupe inspection, there are typical inclusions and brownish oil residues with some surface reaching. The rubies are of medium purplish red to intense purplish red colour, moderately to noticeably included with typical fingerprint and crystal inclusions and some are surface reaching. The diamonds are about H-I colour, SI to I1 clarity. Signed Webb. Condition: Karat yellow gold mount, show signs of minor wear, otherwise in very good overall condition.
