Diamonds: approx. 7.18 ctw, all stones are high color (GHI) and mostly VS clarity. A combination of old mine and old European cut.
Sapphires: approx 5.40 ctw (5 stones: 1.1 ct center, 0.9ct x 3, 0.8ct x 2). All sapphires are very clean and "gemmy" with lovely light to medium velvety blue hue. I had the brooch sent to GIA for a random testing on one stone and GIA states its origin is Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and has no indication of heating.
As many of you know, being a certified unheated sapphire alone puts it in the top 1% of all sapphires. A sapphire originating from Sri Lanka commands a very high premium due to its scarcity, quality, and value.
A fellow Instagram follower used "spared no expense" to describe the top quality materials and workmanship in this piece which I think is so accurate!
Approx 3.9 cm in size.
Weight:10.65 grams.
Excellent antique condition with no noticeable flaws that I can see (otherwise I wouldn't have hoarded it this long).
This is a precious heirloom piece, which you should not miss out on!
