Colour and Clarity: According to AGL report, the oval sapphire is natural, of Kashmir origin, with no indication of heating. Two oval diamonds, according to GIA reports, are matching E colour, VS1 and VS2 clarity respectively. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of intense, velvety blue colour, very clean and lively to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are only a few needle-like inclusions, generally very clean. Two diamonds have nice brilliance. Condition: Platinum ring mount, in very good condition.
