Condition

In our opinion, the sapphire is of a medium to medium dark blue colour, very clean under 10x loupe inspection. There are minute clouds visible only at an angle using 10x loupe, abraded facets and scratch, not noticeable to unaided eyes. The diamonds are about G-H colours, VS-SI clarity.
Condition: Vintage mount, some signs of wear, otherwise in very good condition.
