About the Item
Antique yellow gold small purse set with diamonds and fine Australian opals. The diamonds are white old cut diamonds amounting to approximately .20 cts., and graded to be approximately near colorless and very slightly to slightly included in clarity. The estimated weight of the opals is 13.5 cts. The opals both round and briolette cut all display four colors: green, blue, yellow and bits of red. The 4 briolette cut opals suspended at the bottom of this lovely purse are very difficult to match and cut.
The purse with woven gold mesh is marked 14K in two places in the interior. On the back on the purse is a floral design of initials. The purse also has an inscription on the inside.
This purse weighs 68.1 grams, is all original. We have photographed it suspended from a gold chain. The long chain, is available for purchase separately, and is not included in the sale of this antique purse.
The purse, silky in feel, in fine condition measures in length 4 inches and 2.75 inches across.
All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value, as well as any related gemological reports. Jewelry sold is guaranteed to be authentic and as represented. All diamonds are from the earth. We never use lab grown, synthetic diamonds. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a fine gift-wrapped presentation box.
We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango".
We have also photographed our pieces on different colors and different body types to provide our viewers with abundant information that we hope will permit them to make their best decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please contact us and we shall respond.
Unless stated otherwise, or stated exactly; all weights and grades are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice within our trade. All purities involving metals - gold, silver, platinum, palladium are approximated within 1%. This allows for the legal tolerance in the jewelry industry. For example, 14K usually indicates a purity of 58.3% gold. However, manufacturing jewelers can legally label a piece as 14K as long as it is above 13K, or 54.2%.
Over the decades our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, has required that we we offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, some extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, admire or just wonder at the exciting, endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
