Lot 421
Of cluster design, centring a claw-set solid black oval opal cabochon weighing approximately 10.98 carats, within a frame of similarly set pear and brilliant-cut diamonds, the diamonds together weighing approximately 1.89 carats, mounted in platinum, size J1/2, gross weight approximately 15.6 grams.
Estimate $6,500 - $8,500
In our opinion, the opal displays strong blue and green play-of- colour in a blocky pattern, some natural inclusions, very minor scratches to surface. The diamonds are bright and lively, probably of F to G colour and VS clarity, as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting.
The mounting displays minor scratches and scuffs commensurate with age and wear.
The ring is of good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.
