A testament to Henry Dunay's artisan skills, this whimsical 18 karat yellow gold monkey is beautifully florentined with high polish accents. He appears to be contemplating a piece of food in his paw. There's already a bite missing! The playful tail is curved to perfection! Eyes are brilliant cut diamonds with approximately .12 ct tw with E color, VS clarity, bezel set for great reality. Properly hallmarked in original presentation box. Recently sold at a Geneva auction for $18,000.
