Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the spessartine garnet is natural, with no indication of treatments, of vivid orange colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the spessartine garnet is very clean and a lively stone, which only shows a transparent fingerprint to the side under 10x loupe. Diamonds set in the surround and shank are of various hue, from near-colourless of H to I colours, to greyish yellowish green and yellowish brown colours; overall in VS to SI1 clarity.
Condition: Fine ring mount, in mint condition.
