Diamonds
21 single brilliant cut diamonds (also called 8/8)with an estimated weight of ± 0.60ct colour and clarity H/J, si/i
All diamond weights, color grades and clarity are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.
All diamonds we offer are screened by the I.J.G.C. for whether they are natural or synthetic, and all diamonds in this jewel are 100% guaranteed to be natural.
Precious stones
14 rubies (lab produced) (also called verneuil ruby). The fact that these stones are lab produced has no influence on the value of this jewel. Most jewelry in the Retro period is set with such lab produced rubies, rather more for their effect than for their intrinsic value.
Birthstones
Diamond is the birthstone (or month stone) for April and ruby for July.
