(events and facts in 1940)

(more info on precious metals)

Diamonds: 11 semi-modern brilliant cut diamonds with a total estimated weight of approx. 0.33 crt. Their cut is semi-modern as the stones are polished around 1950 which means that although to today's standards they are considered to be modern brilliant cuts, their cullet (the point at the bottom) are still polished flat.
Note: All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since the stones were not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.

Precious stones: lapis lazuli
