Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the colour-changing garnet is natural, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the garnet shows a strong colour change effect, from deep brown-orange in daylight, to intense red in incandescent light, eye clean and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are some crystal inclusions, but not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: This ring is offered without reserve. Karat white gold ring mount, in very good condition.
