FANCY VIVID YELLOW DIAMOND AND DIAMOND RING

Centring on a pear-shaped fancy vivid yellow diamond weighing 6.00 carats, encircled by a tiered double border set with brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the split shoulders, the diamonds together weighing approximately 1.30 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, the principle diamond is natural, of Fancy Vivid Yellow colour, VS2 clarity. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the diamond shows a very strong yellow colour in an open-back setting, with very nice brilliance, a little plump but pleasing face-up outline. Small round diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Minor signs of wear, otherwise in very good condition.
