Colour and Clarity: According to GIA reports, the two principle diamonds are natural, of Fancy Intense Yellow colour, VS1 and VS2 clarity respectively. Please refer to the reports for details.

The tiny diamonds set on the diamond jackets are probably of strong yellow, medium purplish pink and G to H colours respectively, overall of VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Versatile set, all in very good condition.
