Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the principle diamond is black colour with very strong surface lustre, opaque clarity. Under 10x loupe, there are a few tiny chips on girdle and hairline fissures on the crown, which are not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds in the surround are probably of J colour, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Some surrounding diamonds are articulately set , interesting design, in very good condition.
