PAIR OF SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND PENDENT EARRINGS

Each suspending on a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 9.90 and 9.35 carats respectively, framed by oval diamonds, surmounted by a cluster of pear-shaped diamonds, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 9.90 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and SSEF reports, both sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, both sapphires are matching, of medium deep, blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are only some silky inclusions in both stones, but not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, overall in very good condition.
