The sapphires are a deep blue color (a couple shades deeper than indicated by catalogue illustration), the center cushion-cut of slightly more violetish blue color and slightly included. The diamonds are approximately H-J color and predominantly SI clarity (one diamond missing). In good condition overall. Can be separated into two bracelets each 6 1/2 inches in length. Please note that the estimate is $25,000 - $35,000.
