Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the spessartite garnet is natural, with no indication of treatments. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the spessartite garnet is of vivid orange colour, eye clean and very lively. Upon 10x loupe, the garnet is quite clean, only a few minor fingerprints on side, not seen to naked eyes. Pink spinels are intense to vivid pink colour, eye clean. Diamonds are about K to L colours, mostly VS but one rose-cut diamond has a surface opening under loupe check. Signed "IVY" to the shank. Condition: Karat gold ring mount, in very good condition.
