Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the SSEF report, all the purple sapphires are natural, of Madagascan origin, and with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the purple sapphires are medium-light to medium tone, of intense purple, pinkish purple and violetish purple colour, very nice brilliance and lively. Under the 10x loupe inspection, the purple sapphires have minor typical natural inclusions and with minor pits and tiny chips but not noticeable to the naked eye. The diamonds are about mainly H to I colour (with a few J colour), mainly VS clarity (with a few SI1 clarity).
Condition: Karat white gold mount, overall in very good condition.
