Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are about G to H colours, VVS to VS clarity. The cabochon sapphires are medium deep blue colour, semi-transparent clarity. Upon illumination and 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions, not seen in normal lighting or to naked eyes. Other small cabochon sapphires are of similar colour, eye clean. Signed and numbered, French assay marks.
Condition: The sapphire pendant is detachable, and a retractable pendant loop that the panther brooch can be worn as pendant. Minor signs of normal wear, otherwise in good condition.
