Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the tsavorite garnet is natural, of East African origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the tsavorite garnet is of vivid yellowish green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, the garnet is quite clean, only a few natural fingerprints close to side, not seen to naked eyes. Two baguette diamonds on side are about L to M colours, VS clarity. Other tiny round diamonds on the outer rim are about H to I colours, VS clarity. Signed "IVY" to the shank.
Condition: Karat gold ring mount, in very good condition.
