Colour and Clarity: According to AGL reports, all pink sapphires on necklace and earrings are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the pink sapphires are generally matching, of very strong purple to reddish pink colour, eye clean and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural fingerprint and crystal inclusions throughout the pink sapphires. Very few stones may have surface pits, but generally all inclusions are not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum mounts, all in very good condition.
