Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the tsavorite garnets on one pair of cufflinks are medium, yellowish green colour, eye clean that a few stones show minor inclusions under 10x loupe. Rubies and sapphires on the other pair are medium to medium dark, intense red and blue colours respectively. Very clean, except three to four stones show small inclusions under 10x loupe. Diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VVS2 to VS clarity. All signed. Condition: Practical and simple designs, both in mint condition.
