| Description: |
A
beautiful brooch designed as a three-dimensional “Leaf” |
| |
skeleton
on a branch in 14K yellow gold, set with 3 round
brilliant diamonds (2.1mm - 2.2mm in
diameter) and 6 natural deep blue sapphires (ranging 3.1mm – 3.6mm in
diameter). The brooch is marked on reverse, but the clasp latch was
soldered over the mark, leaving it incomplete. Please note: only the
“1” is seen from “14K”, and “ARTIER” from “CARTIER, with only a ghost
of the “C” barely visible under the solder flow (where
it is
supposed to be). The gold tested 14K. |

|
| Condition: |
Excellent used condition, with age appropriate wear, a small
|
| |
ding in
the spine of the stalk. Sapphires show very slight wear with jeweler’s
loupe. Diamonds are excellent. Overall a stunning piece. |
