Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cabochon sapphires are of light blue to light violetish blue colour, and the sixth sapphire from the tongue shows indistinct asterism.

The diamonds are about F to G colour, VS clarity (for the circular-cut diamonds) and VS to SI clarity (for the baguette diamonds). Signed at the tongue.
