Centring on a cushion-shaped spinel weighing 6.11 carats, sided by a cushion-shaped diamond weighing 6.02 carats, bordered by circular-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat yellow and blackened gold, signed. Ring size: 6
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the pink spinel is natural, with no indication of treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the pink spinel is of medium dusty rosy pink colour, very clean to naked eyes with lively brilliance and charming face-up hue. Generally clean under 10x loupe, with only a few surface blemishes as nicks, scratches and abrasions. Tiny spinels are light pink colour, eye clean. In our opinion, the old cushion-cut diamond is light yellow colour, about U-V colours, VS2 to SI1 clarity due to a chip on the girdle close to one prong. The surrounding diamonds are about J to L colours, VS to SI clarity. Signed "IVY" to the shank.
Condition: In mint condition.
