Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS reports, the peridots on both the brooch and earrings, are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the peridots are matching, of medium intense yellowish green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are tiny crystal inclusions in the largest peridot with surface abrasions along facets, not seen to naked eyes. Brown diamonds on the brooch are of medium saturation, VS to SI clarity. Other tiny diamonds are slightly tinted colour, similar clarity.
Condition: Whimsical design, karat gold mounts, all in mint condition.
