Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to AGTA report, the 18.21 carat sapphire is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. The 18.61 carat sapphire is also natural, with no indications of heating, but with no origin determined. In our opinion, the sapphires are matching, of medium to medium dark brilliant blue colour, tint of violet, one has fingerprint inclusions to one corner and the other with silk inclusions under 10x loupe. The sapphires are eye clean with a pleasant face-up brilliance. Cushion-shaped diamonds are about H-I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Set in a tasteful and exquisite mount, in mint condition.
