18 Karat Gold, Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond Brooch

Designed as a flower set with round and single-cut diamonds weighing approximately 8.60 carats, the petals set with oval cabochon sapphires weighing approximately 3.70 carats, and round and oval cabochon emeralds weighing approximately 1.85 carats.

Set with 56 round and single-cut diamonds approximately G to I color, VS to SI clarity overall. The 3 sapphires are an opaque medium-deep slightly violetish blue and the 3 emeralds are also opaque and a medium-deep green color; all the colored stones are highly included and bear some nicks due to wear or surface-reaching conclusions; the clarity of these stones is typical of this type of decorative material. The mounting is in very good condition, and the pin is slightly bent but still attaches.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
