Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface wear and light scratches in keeping with general wear. Sapphires vary slightly in shape and hue. Blue to greenish-blue, light to moderate colour saturation. Three have fairly good clarity with typical inclusions, one with typical inclusions that somewhat affect the passage of light through the stone. Sapphires in fair to good condition with some abrasion and nibbles to the facet edges. Please see Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue for coloured gemstones. Diamonds bright and differ in hue, some are drawing more of a yellowish or brownish hue. Principal diamonds are drawing yellow hues. Due to the nature of the rose-cut it is difficult to calculate a total diamond weight, limitations of the mount apply. Clarity varies, some with minor inclusions, others with scattered or large surface reaching inclusions. Condition varies, some in good condition with minor abrasion, some in fair condition with significant nibbles and chips.
