Description

Each suspending on a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 8.90 and 7.86 carats, surrounded by pear-shaped diamonds altogether weighing approximately 6.00 carats, surmounted by an inverted pear-shaped diamond each weighing 2.02 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to AGL reports, both sapphires are natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indication of heating and clarity enhancement. Two pear-shaped diamonds in the surmounts, according to GIA reports, are F and G colours, both of SI1 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are of medium blue colour, eye clean and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are some minor crystal and fingerprint inclusions, not noticeable. Smaller pera-shaped diamonds in the surround are about F to G colours, mostly VS, but about two stones of SI1 clarity.
Condition: In very good condition.
