Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal treatment, of GRS type "Royal Blue" colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cabochon sapphires are of matching, strong blue colour, eye clean to slightly included to naked eyes, with brilliance. Upon 10x loupe, the sapphires generally have natural inclusions, such as crystals and fingerprints. A few stones may have surface-reaching feathers and pits, not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white gold mounts, in mint condition.
