Description
Centring on a cushion-shaped orangy red spinel weighing 8.19 carats, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds suspending oscillating briolette diamonds, decorated to the shanks with brilliant-cut diamonds, the diamonds together weighing approximately 5.40 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, the spinel is natural, with no indications of any treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the spinel shows a saturated, slightly orangy red colour in medium to medium dark tone, with good brilliance. The stone is very clean to both naked eyes and loupe check, which only have two very tiny fingerprints on girdle and not noticeable even under 10x loupe. Diamond briolettes are of H to I colours and brilliant-cut diamonds are about G to H colours, overall in VS clarity.
Condition: Fancy ring mount, in very good condition.
