Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all sapphire cabochons are of matching, intense blue colour. Smaller sapphires are generally eye clean, and three larger sapphires are slightly included to naked eyes. Emerald cabochons are of matching, intense green colour, eye clean. Under 10x loupe, some coloured stones have surface pits or very tiny chips, but all are not seen to naked eyes and do not affect the visual beauty. Diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Very minor signs of wear, overall in very good condition.
