Diamonds set on the "teddy bear" are slightly tinted colour to light brown hue, VS to SI clarity; other tiny diamonds on the swing are about G to H colours, similar clarity. Coloured sapphire briolettes on the display karat white gold swing, are of various hues, including medium blue, purple pink and intense yellow colour, eye clean. Small tsavorite garnets are of intense grass green hue, also clean to naked eyes.
