Est. $130,000-$140,000 Zadora Custom 3.00ctw VS1-VS2/Yellow & White Diamond, Carved Obsidian & Solid 18K Yellow Gold Dueling Lion Bangle W/Amber Eyes, Diamond Teeth & $130,000 Appraisal (One of a Kind) - This magnificent, museum quality piece was custom made by one of the world's foremost gem stone artists, known as America's Faberge, Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof. This one-of-a-kind piece was commissioned approximately 25 years ago, and clearly reveals Zadora's high level of skill with its intricate detail and masterful design. The bangle was finely crafted of solid 18k yellow gold and is decorated with a pair of fierce dueling lions crafted from hand carved jet black obsidian. The piece displays expert attention to detail, as the lions are each finished with genuine cabochon amber eyes, and approximately 1.00ctw genuine marquise-cut diamond teeth. The lions also feature beautifully carved hair-like details and approximately 2.00ctw VS1-VS2 fancy yellow diamond patches on the manes. The bodies of the lions are just as splendidly detailed, with a richly textured surface and high relief details. The bracelet has a secure hinged design, with a safety lever on the back of the piece which stops the bangle from opening while it is being worn. This piece has an extremely heavy and luxurious feel, and truly radiates sophistication and grandeur, as it has diamond dust finish throughout the piece. This piece has excellent investment potential, as it is a one-of-a-kind piece made by one of the great jewelry artists of our time. The bangle is signed "Zadora" along with the gold purity and Zadora hallmark. The bangle measures approximately 6.5" in inner circumference and 1.4" wide at the widest point.
