Of chandelier design, each suspending a fringe of oval and cushion-shaped sapphires embellished with marquise-shaped diamonds, to an oval sapphire surmount within a circular-cut diamond frame, the sapphires and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 29.30 and 4.80 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS report, the sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal treatment, and vivid blue colour (GRS type "royal blue"). Please refer to the report and appendix for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are medium deep vivid violetish blue colour, very good brilliance and lively, eye clean. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are moderate typical fingerprint inclusions with some surface reaching and some to the openings, and with minor chips and pits but not noticeable to the naked eye. The diamonds are about G to H colour, mainly VVS to VS clarity (with a few SI1 clarity). Condition: Karat white gold mount, in mint condition.
