Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface wear in keeping with general age. The aquamarine has a medium body colour. Light nibbles and surface scratches visible. Please see the Important Notice for Purchasers in our catalogue for coloured gemstones. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Light nicks and chips can be seen to some. Fine feathers and fractures can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. Length of cluster 1.5cms. The ring size is A 1/2. 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 0.16cts, 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.
