Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches in keeping with minimal wear and discolouration, one is heavily discoloured to the reverse. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Light nicks and chips can be seen to some. Fine feathers can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The sapphires are a well matched dark inky blue with fairly good clarity showing typical inclusions and light scratches and chips. The rubies are a pinkish-red with low to medium saturation, showing typical inclusions that do not affect the passage of light through the stone. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue or on our website for coloured gemstones. Untested for natural colour origin. The US prohibits the importation of items containing rubies or jadeite originating in Burma. For your convenience we have applied this notice to lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating in Burma, or those of indeterminate origin. Please be advised that inability of a purchaser to import any such item into the US or elsewhere will not constitute grounds for non-payment or cancellation of the sale.
