PAIR OF SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND EAR CLIPS

Each centring on a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 4.61 and 4.98 carats respectively, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds altogether weighing approximately 5.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin and AGL reports, two sapphires are natural, of Kashmir origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are medium strong blue colour, eye clean and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are only minor zoning and slightly abraded crown facets, not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VVS to VS clarity. Condition: In very good condition.
