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.
