Platinum, 18 Karat Gold, Diamond and Hardstone Ring and Earclips, David Webb

The ring set at the sides with round diamonds weighing approximately 6.40 carats, with interchangeable cabochon centers including 2 cat's-eye chrysoberyls, a turquoise and an onyx, all measuring approximately 18.0 mm., size 5½, signed Webb; the earclips of similar design set with round diamonds weighing approximately 6.40 carats, the centers set with cabochon onyxes measuring approximately 19.2 mm., signed Webb, all interchangeable centers work for both ring and earclips.  With signed box.

Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from David Webb. In good overall condition with gentle wear to the mountings. Evidence of sizing to the ring; fitted with a flexible sizing band. As noted in the catalogue, the interchangeable centers are designed to be worn in both the ring and the earclips. To remove the centers, lift the lever away from the mounting and simply press on the base of the stone, taking care not to let the stone drop on a hard surface. To insert the centers, reverse the process. The slightly greenish golden brown cat's-eye chrysoberyls are highly translucent with minor eye-visible inclusions and faint to moderate chatoyancy. The tops of the cabochons maintain a high polish, the undersides are minimally polished and bear fractures as typical of this material. Two of the onyxes maintain a high polish. The third onyx, the one presumably used for the ring, bears nicks and scratching and would benefit from a polish. With glue residue to the underside. The slightly greenish medium-light blue turquoise presents minor discoloration and soiling with minimal color mottling; the underside with minor matrix. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity.
