AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An articulated collier necklace, hinged — opens with side clasps. A typical 'choker' of the period. Yellow gold with diamond-cut lattice on the back, front part in hand-engraved silver with a fern leaf motif.
• An en suite rigid bracelet, same openwork construction.
Central motif
• A very large stylized lily / fleur-de-lis, pierced. It is the centerpiece of both pieces.
• Silver mounting on gold — technique used at the time because silver makes the diamonds appear whiter.
Stones
• Dozens of antique rose-cut diamonds, rose-cut, set with closed claws. A slightly icy brilliance typical of 19th-century cutting.
• 2 cabochon rubies per piece, one at the top and one at the bottom, in a rose gold setting. On the bracelet there are other small lateral ones.
• Gold weight: from the photo it seems to be low-karat gold, very likely 14k or even 8k as many Ottoman pieces of the era — it was normal; a similar necklace is described as "Circa 1870s 8k Gold Ottoman Natural Rose Cut Diamond Ruby Pendant Necklace". Other contemporaneous demi-parures are catalogued as "Gold, ruby and diamond demi-parure, late 19th century".
