Description

Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, the oval diamond is of D colour, Internally Flawless clarity. Also accompanied by a classification letter, the diamond is of type IIa category. Please refer to the report and letter for details. In our opinion, the depth of this diamond is little shallow which gives a big face similar to 13 to 15 carat size, but still having good brilliance. Two tapered diamonds are probably of D to E colours, VVS to VS1 clarity.
Condition: Simple and classic claw-set platinum mount, in mint condition.
