Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the yellow diamonds on one brooch are of saturated hue, and pink diamonds are of very light tone, overall VS to SI clarity. Diamonds on the same brooch are about H to I colours, VS clarity. Pink sapphires on another brooch are of intense hot purple pink colour, clean to naked eyes with good brilliance. Diamonds on the same brooch are G to H colours, VS clarity: Condition: These two brooches are offered without reserve, and both are in very good condition, almost as new.
