Including a necklace, brooch, an impressive bracelet, and pair of chandelier earrings, all carved with beautiful cherub motifs, mounted in yellow gold.

Collection of Mrs. Thomas H. Briggs, Raleigh, North Carolina and thence by descent through her family

Please note that a bracelet of nearly identical form was sold at Sotheby's, New York, "Magnificent Jewelry," November 7, 1998 (Lot 13).

All pieces have several places where coral is deficient and has wear, one of the earrings is detached to the central motif and the necklace is missing several coral stations, accompanied by several of the deficient pieces of coral, overall the lot is in fair to good condition. In spite of these deficiencies, they are magnificent pieces of jewelry with exceptional carving.
