Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds set on the 'casino' cufflinks are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Rubies are strong purplish red colour, eye clean, good brilliance. Black diamonds are opaque. Sapphires on another cufflinks are about medium blue colour, eye clean, good brilliance. Condition: This lot is offered without reserve. Both pair of cufflinks are in very good condition.
