Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS reports, the two sapphires are of Burmese origin with no indication of thermal treatment. In our opinion, the sapphires are medium to intense blue colour with a tint of violet, with natural fingerprint inclusions, surface reaching pits in the pavilion of one sapphire and a feather and natural inclusions in the pavilion of the other sapphire, common in unheated stones, and all not noticeable with naked eye. The oval diamonds are about I to J colours, VS clarity.
Condition: In mint condition. A versatile pair of earrings.
