Condition Report
The lot is in good overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. French assay marks to the clasp. General moderate discolouration. The necklace appears mostly gold, with a thin silver mount for the diamonds. The diamonds appear bright and well matched, estimated total diamond spread weight 3.50cts, but this is no indication of the total diamond weight. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The emeralds are a well matched medium vibrant slightly bluish green hue with typical inclusions including some surface reaching inclusions. Circular-shape emerald diameter range 7.2 to 4.5mms.
