Item Details
Description
A portrait miniature and gem-set clasp. Of oval outline, the hand-painted ivory panel, depicting a gentleman in period dress, with alternating rose-cut diamond and cushion-shape ruby surround. Length 4.6cms. Weight 18.5gms.
Condition
  • Overall condition good. Minor surface scratches/wear in keeping with general age and wear.
  • Clasp fittings suitable to be strung as a ten-strand item of jewellery.

  • Glazed panel and setting of the painted panel, prevents conclusive identification of panel, very likely to be ivory.

  • Diamonds vary in appearance.

  • Diamonds fairly bright.

  • Diamonds vary in colour from near-colourless, to tinted yellow or brown.

  • Dark coloured inclusions can be seen to some diamonds easily with the naked-eye, some show obvious light and dark coloured inclusions easily under magnification.
  • Individual size and setting of diamonds prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment.

  • Rubies fairly well matched with pinkish and purplish reds, well saturated, with fair clarity and typical inclusions, some of which can be seen easily with the naked-eye.

  • Stones in mostly good condition with minor abrasions. Some stone show heavier abrasion and small chips.

  • Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers for coloured gemstones.

  • The US prohibits the importation of items containing rubies or jadeite originating in Burma. For your convenience we have applied this notice to lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating in Burma, or those of indeterminate origin. Please be advised that inability of a purchaser to import any such item into the US or elsewhere will not constitute grounds for non-payment or cancellation of the sale.

  • ITEMS INCORPORATING MATERIALS FROM ENDANGERED AND OTHER PROTECTED SPECIES. Prospective buyers are advised that several countries prohibit altogether the importation of property containing such materials, and that other countries require a permit (e.g., a CITES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies in the countries of exportation as well as importation. The sale of ivory, tortoiseshell and other materials derived from endangered species is limited by CITES regulations to worked pieces dating prior to 1947, and the export of such pieces outside the EU would require an export licence to be obtained from DEFRA. Accordingly, customers should familiarize themselves with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on any item with wildlife material if they intend to import the item into. For example, the U.S. generally prohibits the importation of articles containing species that it has designated as endangered or threatened if those articles are less than 100 years old. Please note that it is the client's responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of items containing endangered and other protected wildlife material.

  • Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
