Lot 8
Composed of three strands of Akoya pearls measuring approximately 5.40mm, completed by a pavé-set diamond clasp, the front centring an oval cabochon sapphire measuring approximately 14.6mm x 11mm within a frame of pavé-set brilliant-cut diamonds suspended between similarly set loops, the diamonds together weighing approximately 3.00 carats, mounted in 18ct gold, inner circumference approximately 360mm, gross weight approximately 57.3grams, numbered, signed VCA for Van Cleef & Arpels.
Estimate $17,000 - $24,000
In our opinion, the sapphire is of violetish blue hue, with moderate to strong saturation with naturally occurring inclusions. The cultured pearls are of silvery hue with rose overtones and very good luster. Well matched, some with naturally occurring blemishes. The diamonds are bright and lively, probably of G-H colour and VS-SI clarity, as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting.
The mounting displays minor scratches commensurate with age and wear. Clasp secure.
The necklace is of very good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.
Overall condition is very good.
