Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to AGL report, the fancy sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the fancy sapphires are of various hue, ranging from very light to intense blue, yellow, pink, purple and green colours, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are crystal inclusions and surface abrasions or very tiny chips along facet junctions, but not seen to naked eyes and do not affect the visual brilliance. Diamonds are about H to I colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Articulated links, in mint condition.
