This remains indeed a sensitive topic.
For over 10 years now, I am awaiting proof that full red diamonds were applied on period HJ's by particular makers...
But here is what a good friend collector of mine recently brought from Germany...
At last! A fine conditioned HJ with a solid red diamond, bought directly from the son of a former HJ member!
Except for some enamel loss, the diamond fits perfectly and does show some movement.
Best regards,
Herman
