Description

Each set with an oval tsavorite garnet weighing 4.34 and 4.24 carats, surrounded by oval and pear-shaped diamonds, to the single-cut diamond borders, suspended from the pear-shaped and single-cut diamond surmount, mounted in 18 karat white, pink and blackened gold, signed.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS report, the tsavorite garnets are natural, of East-African origin, with no indications of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the tsavorite garnets are of medium tone saturated green colour, bright and lively. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are moderate fingerprint inclusions, and with minor pits on facets and facet junctions but not visible to the naked eye. All the diamonds are about K to L colour; the old-cut diamonds are mainly SI clarity (with a few I clarity); and the single-cut diamonds are VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Karat white, pink and blackened gold mount, show signs of slight discolouration on pink gold at the back, otherwise in very good overall condition.
