Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphires are matching, of deep, strong blue colour, eye clean. Most of the sapphire appear clean upon loupe check, and only a few stones may have fingerprint or crystal inclusions which are not seen to naked eyes. Emeralds are of medium, intense green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural inclusions and may be some minor surface abrasions, not seen to naked eyes and very common in natural emeralds. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Both are signs Gianmaria Buccellati. Accompanied by original receipt, stating the original purchase amount and sale date. Condition: The necklace and the matching pendent ear clips are from the Estate of the late Anita Mui Yim Fong. Karat gold and white gold mounts, ear-pendants are detachable, overall in very good condition.
