ALL GEMSTONE AND DIAMOND WEIGHTS, COLOUR AND CLARITY HAVE BEEN ASSESSED MOUNTED AND OF OUR OPNION ONLY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CERTIFICATED ITEMS. 

-      Under magnification the sapphires show internal straight colour-zoning and feather-like inclusions. In my opinion they are natural.

-      The diamonds are evenly matched and are attractive bright and lively stones.

-      Some of claws may benefit from retipping otherwise the gold mount is in good condition

-      We are unable to test the gold standard. In my opinion it would test as 18ct gold.
