Description
- spinel, diamond and gold
Each centring on an oval spinel weighing 2.46 and 2.23 carats respectively, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds, to an outer surround of bombé form set with circular-cut spinels altogether weighing approximately 3.50 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow and blackened gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS reports, both red spinels are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of treatment. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the spinels are matching, of strong red colour, very clean to both naked eyes and loupe check, with lively brilliance. Tiny red spinels in the surround are of similar colour, eye clean. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.45 carat are about H to I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat blackened gold and gold mount, in very good condition.
