Large and Important Fine Turquoise & Diamond 18K White Gold Earrings
18K white gold centering an estimated 40 cts. of fine "robin's egg" blue turquoise surrounded by 50 white brilliant cut prong set diamonds. The diamonds are estimated to weigh 5.19 cts. These prong set diamonds are all well matched and well cut. They are approximately H in color (near colorless) and very slightly included (VS).
The well matched bezel set turquoise is probably from the old Sleeping Beauty mines in Arizona as evident of their bright sky blue or robin's egg blue even color with little to no matrix showing. The mine, which is now closed, is well known for its superior turquoise.
The earrings are ovoid in shape measuring 1-1/4th by 7/8th inches in length and 7/8th inches wide. They are now for a pierced ear, but can be converted to accomodate a non pierced ear.
These earrings are not marked, but have been acid tested to confirm they are 18K, 750; they are in fine condition.
Please note our model is a medium to large size.
