Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to AGL reports, all sapphires are natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indications of heating and clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are generally matching, of bright medium blue colour, all clean to naked eyes with good brilliance. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural crystal and fingerprint inclusions; two to three stones have tiny chips on crown facets, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to I colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Platinum mounts, in very good condition.
