The diamonds in all the pieces range from approximately F-H color and are predominantly VS clarity. Gross weight of necklace approximately 153 dwts, length approximately 19 1/2 inches. Gross weight of earclips approximately 18 dwts. Length approximately 1 3/8 inches, fitted with posts. Gross weight of ring approximately 17 dwts, fitted with an inner sizing band.
