Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface wear in keeping with general wear. Sapphire has a six rayed star when held under direct light. Fractures and inclusions visible. Sapphire has pale greyish blue hue. Gas bubbles visible to green paste. The diamonds are bright and lively. Several rose-cut diamonds deficient. All settings will need attention to make sure each stone is secure. 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 0.80ct, 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.
