Description
- Van Cleef & Arpels
- Sapphire, Diamond, Platinum
Each invisibly-set with calibré-cut sapphires weighing approximately 4.80 carats, with baguette diamond borders, mounted in platinum, signed and numbered N.Y.14213.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphires are of medium to deep blue colour, and under the 10x loupe inspection, they are slightly included with typical natural inclusions, and all with moderate abrasions and pits on facet junctions but not visible to naked eye. The diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.50 carat, are about H to I colour, VS clarity. Signed and numbered.
Condition: Platinum mount with karat white gold clips. Some sapphires are slightly loose from the mount and servicing is recommended to further secure the sapphires in the setting. Show signs of normal wear, otherwise overall condition is good.
