Description
Centring on a cushion-shaped spessartine garnet weighing 10.14 carats, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the shank, the diamonds together weighing approximately 2.30 carats, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to AGTA report, the spessartine garnet is natural. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, this garnet is of medium, vivid orange colour, very clean to both naked eyes and loupe check, with great brilliance and graceful proportions. Diamonds in the surround are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Classic prong-set ring mount, with scratches to the shank, otherwise in very good condition.
