Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the AGL report, the tsavorite garnet is natural, of East-African origin, with no indications of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the tsavorite garnet is of medium vivid green colour, very good brilliance and lively. Under the 10x loupe inspection, it has tiny crystals, fingerprint and thread-like needle inclusions, and with minor pits and chips, but all are not visible to the naked eye except for a few small inclusions which are only noticeable upon close observation. The old European-cut diamond weighing approximately 3.90 carats is about N to O colour, SI clarity. The single-cut diamonds are about I to J colour, VS to SI clarity. Signed.
Condition: Karat pink and blackened gold mount, overall in mint condition.
