Upon 10x loupe, there are only a few small natural inclusions, mostly to the side and not noticeable even upon loupe check. Diamonds in the surround are about E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity. The circular-cut diamonds set in-between oval diamonds are of very light pink colour, VS clarity.
Condition: Signs of wear to the shank, otherwise in very good condition.
