anchorCert Certificates STRENGHTEN SUCCESSFUL SALE OF BELLE EPOQUE PENDANT

A beautiful Belle Epoque pearl and diamond pendant, circa 1905 sold at a recent Bonhams Fine Jewellery Sale for £57,600.  

The pendant was accompanied by an AnchorCert Certificate stating that the pear shaped diamond was J Colour, VS2 Clarity and a type IIA, untreated stone.  It was also accompanied by a further AnchorCert Report stating that both the pearls were found to be natural, with no evidence of treatment.

The Auctioneers Bonhams were delighted with the sale.  The independent verification and certification of fine jewellery items by AnchorCert is proving its worth commercially.  The reassurance provided to purchasers of the quality of the items for sale by auction certainly helps to achieve the higher end of the price guide and above for sales.
