Colour and Clarity: Barrette-style Brooch - In our opinion, the sapphires, rubies and emeralds are of medium intense blue, purplish red and green colours respectively, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural inclusions with general surface abrasions and may be a few surface reaching fissures on their crown, not seen to naked eyes. The diamonds are about H to I colours, VS clarity. Swinging Pendant Brooch - In our opinion, the principle sapphire is of medium intense blue colour, eye clean with only a few crystal inclusions and surface abrasions under loupe check. Other small rubies and sapphires are about medium deep purplish red and blue colours respectively, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural inclusions and surface abrasions, particularly to the rubies, but not seen to naked eyes. The diamonds are about E to H colours, VS clarity. Centre sapphire pendant is detachable and worn as a separate pendant. Condition: Signs of wear to the metal, otherwise both in good condition.
