Of rectangular form, featuring a carved mystical beast within an oriental scenery, embellished by cabochon and calibré-cut rubies, circular-cut sapphires and baguette, marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, accented by a milky cabochon hardstone, mounted in 14 karat pink, yellow and white gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds together weighing approximately 0.70 carat, are about I to J colours, VS2 to SI clarity. Sapphires are strong blue colour, eye clean. Rubies are slightly purplish red colour, mostly eye clean, but the two larger cabochon rubies at the corner are of translucent clarity. Condition: This belt buckle is offered without reserve. Signs of wear and scratches to the mount, otherwise in good condition.
