Lot 201
Property of a Private New South Wales Collector
Designed as an articulated collar composed as a line of engraved sphinx cartouche chain links decorated to the front with a carved lapis lazuli scarab within a split frame pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds and circular-cut emeralds, flanked by similar motifs centring a carved quartz scarab, the emeralds and diamonds together weighing approximately 2.24 carats and 0.35 carats respectively, mounted in 18ct gold, inner circumference 380mm, gross weight approximately 45.1 grams.
Accompanied by a facsimile Robert Clerc receipt numbered 6578, dated 15 April 1993.
Estimate $4,600 - $5,500
In our opinion, the lapis lazuli and rock crystal carvings are in very good condition, with very minor scratches. The emeralds are of green hue with strong to vivid saturation with some typical natural inclusions. The diamonds are bright and lively, likely of G to 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 good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.
Overall condition very good.
