Description
- sapphire, diamond, white gold
Each centring on an oval sapphire weighing 11.11 carats, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds altogether weighing approximately 4.05 carats, mounted by 18 karat white gold, with clip and post fittings.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin and GRS reports, the two sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. According to GRS, the two sapphires are of matching, vivid blue colour, classified as GRS-type "Royal Blue" colour. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are well-matched, of intense blue colour, eye clean with good live. Upon 10x loupe, there are silks and fingerprint inclusions, with tiny nicks on facet edges, but all these internal features are not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white gold mounts, with pendant hooks on the back, in very good condition.
