Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the andradite garnets are of various hues, inc.uding yellowish to bluish green, light to medium deep yellow-brown colours, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are abrasions and chips to the crown on some stones, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to H colours, mostly VS clarity. Tsavorite garnets on the earclips are about medium, vivid green to slightly yellowish green colour, eye clean. Condition: Platinum mounts, both in very good condition.
