Lot 515
Each articulated throughout, terminating on a tapered green jadeite drop measuring approximately 37mm by 8mm, supported from a row of millegrain bezel-set rectangular-shaped onyx, single-cut diamonds and early round-cut diamonds, surmounted by a round cabochon onyx, the diamonds together weighing approximately 0.80 carats, mounted in platinum, length 85mm, lever back fittings, total gross weight approximately 12 grams.
Estimate $3,500 - $5,500
In our opinion the jadeite light green intact, with some clouds and streaks. Semi-opaque translucency. The diamonds are bright and lively, probably of H/I colour and SI/Pique clarity, as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting. Onyx has some minor nicks and scratches. The mounting has wear to the metal in the form of minor scratches, discolouration of metal. Evidence of later repairs.
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.
