Condition
In good condition with some light scratching to the mounting, commensurate with wear. The emeralds range from medium to medium-deep very slightly bluish green to green, predominantly moderately included with some examples of surface-reaching inclusions, cavities and fractures visible under close inspection. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, predominantly VVS clarity. Signed on the edge near the end of the buckle clasp. With a signed box. Gross weight approximately 38 dwts, internal circumference approximately 7 inches. Well-made and hinged for placement on wrist. To wear the bracelet, open the safety latch and lift the buckle-shaped mechanism of the clasp so that it disconnects from its centered prong.
