Purchasing information
    Overall condition good to fair. Minor surface scratches in keeping with a recently polished ring. There is wear to the band, with flattened portions. The sapphires are well matched with a dark blue tone of strong saturation, with fairly good clarity showing typical inclusions with magnification and moderate abrasion to the facet edges. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Small dark inclusions can be seen with the naked eye to the centre diamond with small light coloured inclusions seen under magnification to all diamonds. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. Ring size M.
