Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the pair of sapphires is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Both sapphires are of vivid, "royal blue" colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are of matching, strong and lively blue colour. Upon 10x loupe, one sapphire has two small included crystals, which are not seen to naked eyes and do not affect the brilliance. Diamonds in the surround are about E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white gold earring mounts, overall in very good condition.
