TONY WHITE PAIR OF PINK TOURMALINE AND MABE PEARL EARRINGS, CIRCA 1993

Property of a Private New South Wales Collector

Each terminating in a collet-set pear-shaped mabé pearl swing drop, surmounted by a ribbon-bow motif and similarly set carved pink tourmaline, mounted in 18ct gold, post and clip fittings, length 43mm, gross weight approximately 22.4 grams.

Accompanied by a facsimile Cook Hill Galleries receipt numbered 4231, dated 17 June 1993.

Estimate $1,700 - $2,200

Sold for $2,800

In our opinion, the mabe pearls are of silvery bodycolour with good lustre, some naturally occurring indents and to the nacre. The tourmalines are of purplish-pink hue with moderate saturation, typical inclusions, some minor scratches and scuffs to the carvings. The mounting displays minor scratches commensurate with age and wear. Fittings firm and secure.

The earrings are of very good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.

Overall condition is very good.
