Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the diamonds are about E to F colours, VS clarity. Both are signed and numbered, with French assay marks. Condition: Please note that we do not guarantee watch movement, which is quartz movement, in working order while cataloguing. Karat white gold mounts, signs of wear to the earclips, otherwise all in very good condition.
