Description
- Sapphire, Diamond, Gold
Of trapezoid-shape, set throughout with oval, circular-cut and pear-shaped sapphires together weighing approximately 890.00 carats, highlighted by a floral centre and boule thumbpiece set with circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 4.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold, accompanied by a link-chain.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphires are of medium-light to deep tone, intense to vivid blue and violetish blue colour, majority are lively and with good brilliance. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are minor to noticeable typical natural inclusions with some surface reaching, and some sapphires with minor pits and tiny chips on the facets but not visible to naked eye. All the diamonds are about G to I colour; the diamonds on the thumbpiece and flowers are VS to SI clarity; and the melee diamonds on the stem and pot are SI to I clarity. The light blue leather interior is well maintained and looks new.
Condition: Karat white gold mount, overall in mint condition.
