Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the GIA reports, one pear-shaped diamond is of D colour and the other is of natural Fancy Intense Yellow colour, both are Internally Flawless. One heart-shaped diamond is of natural Fancy Vivid Yellow colour. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the heart-shaped vivid yellow diamond is probably of VS2 to SI1 clarity which has a small feather cutting on its lobe. Other small yellow diamonds are also of vivid saturation and similar clarity. The near-colourless heart-shaped diamond is of about F colour, VS clarity. Other small round diamonds are of similar quality. Condition: Pretty mount with interesting mis-matching design, in very good condition.
