Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the spessartine garnet is probably of vivid orange colour, very clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are a few needle-like inclusions close to the bottom. Diamonds are of strong slightly greenish yellow to yellow colour, VS to SI clarity. The onyx circle measuring approximately 13.35 x 11.86 x 6.10mm. Signed. Condition: Simple pendant necklace, in very good condition.
