Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the sapphire is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium deep, intense blue colour, eye clean and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are some fine silks and a few tiny fingerprints on side, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, in very good condition.
