Full-Cataloguing
This sapphire and diamond jewellery suite is of a most elegant and classic design. The necklace is composed of a line of twenty-seven Burmese sapphires, and comes together with a pair of matching Burmese sapphire earrings. Given the rarity of Burmese sapphires, it is unusual and difficult to find such a number of well-matched, nicely graduated stones. The addition of marquise-cut diamonds give the necklace a feminine, foliate-like appearance.
