Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all the principle round diamonds are of light yellow colour, ranging from about N / O to U / V colours, mostly VVS to VS1 clarity. Large diamonds on necklace weigh approximately 2.50 to 8.75 carats each, one of the diamonds may be of VS2 clarity. Larger diamonds set on the ear-pendants are probably over 6 carat each, one is of VS2 clarity; smaller stones weigh about 1.60 and 2.0 carats respectively. The principle diamond on ring is about VS1 clarity. Small yellow diamonds in the surrounds are in vivid saturation, mostly SI clarity. Condition: Pretty design in elegant mounts, all in very good condition, almost as new.
