Description
- diamond, sapphire, platinum
Composed of cushion-shaped and oval sapphires together weighing approximately 59.07 carats, interspersed by brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 15.50 carats, mounted in platinum, length approximately 175mm.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the AGL report, based on random testing of more than 50% of the sapphires, the sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating and clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are of slightly deep, strong blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, these sapphires have natural inclusions and some of them have surface reaching fissures and tiny nicks on their crowns, not seen to naked eyes and quite common in natural gemstones. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Platinum mount, nice workmanship gives soft flow to the bracelet, in mint condition.
