Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphires are light, medium and medium deep blue colour, very good brilliance, eye-clean. Under the 10x loupe inspection, some with minor crystal and fingerprint inclusions and colour-zoning, one with a minor chip at the crown, but all are not visible to the naked eye. The diamonds are about E to F colour, VVS to VS clarity. Signed and numbered, with French assay marks for gold.
Condition: Karat white gold mount. Necklace and pendent earrings show signs of minor wear. Ring shows signs of normal wear with scratches and tiny indentations on the shank. Overall condition is very good.
