Pair of Sapphire Pendent Earrings

Each centring on an oval sapphire weighing 5.56 and 5.49 carats respectively, framed by circular-cut sapphires, to an outer lozenge-shaped frame set with similarly-cut sapphires, the sapphires altogether weighing approximately 2.35 carats, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS reports, the sapphires are natural, of Sri Lankan origin, with no indications of heating, one sapphire of Royal Blue colour and one sapphire of cornflower blue colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are of brilliant medium violetish blue colour. Under 10x loupe, the sapphires are generally clean, except for typical fingerprint or crystal inclusions not visible to naked eyes. The surrounding sapphires are of similar colour, moderately included. Condition: In very good condition.
