Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphire is of intense blue colour. Under 10x loupe, there are natural fingerprint inclusions and nicks not noticeable when worn. Diamonds are about G-H colours, VS clarity. Signed Cartier and numbered Q19490. The two cabochon rubies on the cross-over ring are of medium deep strong red colour, clean to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are crystal inclusions and surface reaching fissures, but not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Signed Cartier and numbered D12353. The diamonds on the band ring, together weighing approximately 0.50 carats, are generally about G-H colours, VS clarity. Signed Cartier and numbered Q4127251.
