Condition Report
Overall condition good to fair. En tremblant setting typically fragile and needs to be handled with care. Light scratches and scuffs can be seen, general wear. The diamond detail is bright and lively. Typical fractures and inclusions can be seen within most, some with the unaided eye. All settings are closed back.
Average diameter of principal rose-cut diamond 6.44mm.
In reference to rubies:
Please see the Important Notice for Purchasers at the front of our catalogue for coloured gemstones.
Due to the closed back settings and nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a total diamond weight. Based on the surface spread alone of the diamonds, they appear to occupy the same surface space as diamonds with an estimated total weight of 5cts, however it is important to note that as it is not possible to gauge the depth of the stones, this estimated weight does not reflect the true weight of the diamonds in any way.
