Description
- colour-changing garnet, diamond, white gold
Each suspending a cushion-shaped colour-changing garnet weighing 5.02 and 4.06 carats respectively, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds, to a diamond-set border of elliptic shape, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the colour-changing garnets are natural, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the colour-changing garnet shows a distinct colour-change effect, from medium deep, purplish red colour in incandescent lighting, to bluish green in daylight. Both are clean to naked eyes, with minor natural inclusions under loupe check. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.60 carat, are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white gold mounts, in mint condition.
