Description
- Spinel, Diamond, Platinum
The ring of foliage design, set with a cushion-shaped spinel weighing 3.03 carats, decorated by marquise- and pear-shaped diamond leaves together weighing approximately 2.10 carats, to a pavé-set diamond hoop, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the AGL report, the spinel is natural, of Burmese origin, with no gemmological evidence of heat and no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the spinel is of medium red colour, very good brilliance and lively, eye clean. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are some tiny colourless crystal inclusions, minor pits and chips on facet junctions, but all are not visible to the naked eye. The diamonds are about F to G colour, mainly VVS to VS clarity (with a few circular-cut melee diamonds of SI clarity).
Condition: Platinum ring mount, overall in mint condition.
