Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin and AGL reports, both sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating and clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are matching, of medium bright, intense blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, both stones have fingerprint inclusions on side or pavilion, not noticeable to naked eyes and do not affect the visual brilliance. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS to SI1 clarity.
Condition: Platinum mounts, in very good condition.
