Overall condition good. Minor surface wear in keeping with age and wear. Opal has a white body colour with red to violet play-of-colour. Opal in fair condition with abrasion and a chip to the tip. Please see Important Notices for Purchasers at the back of our catalogue for coloured gemstones. Due to the 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 0.85cts, however 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. Diamonds fairly bright. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Diamonds in fair condition with some abrasion and nibbles. Unhallmarked. Weight 4.2gms.
