The diamonds appear a little cloudy, estimated H-I colour, P1-P2 clarity. There are inclusions easily visible with unaided eye. The settings are worn and damaged and one diamond appears loose and would need to be secured. The central sapphire appears to have possibly been titanium diffused and has been added to the ring at a later date. Ring size Q1/2. Weight 2.3gms.
