Centring on an oval sapphire weighing approximately 10.00 carats, amid a stylised frame set with marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds weighing approximately 1.50 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium dark, intense blue colour. Under 10x loupe, there is a surface-reaching feather / fingerprint running from within the table edge to girdle. The fingerprint looks very transparent under 10x loupe, not noticeable to naked eyes and does not block the overall brilliance. Diamonds in the surround are probably of G colour, VS clarity.
Condition: Minute signs of wear or scratches to the shank, overall in very good condition.
