This jewelry reflects a lifetime of impeccable taste and refined discretion. Each piece—curated across decades of travel, art, and society—embodies the quiet glamour and expressive elegance for which she is celebrated.

Overall Condition: The rubies have multiple surface reaching fractures. It appears that the earrings were converted to be suitable for pierced ears by adding on stud posts and drilling through the original clip back to accommodate the posts. A few gold solder marks visible. Light scratching and wear to metal consistent with age and use.

Diamond Characteristics (graded insofar as mounting permits)
Color: F-G.
Clarity: VS.
