The oval-cut sapphires are light blue hues with some violet tones. All are well matched, bright, lively and with excellent transparency. Some with slightly uneven colour which is only visible in strong lighting and not visible when worn. Some sapphires with typical very small feathers, crystal inclusions and fine rutile which are only visible with magnification and not visible when worn (a couple of which break the surface on one stone only). Diamonds estimated as mainly H/I-J/K colour SI clarity (a few I), a few with very small black marks. The bracelet very well made with fluid and flexible articulation. The clasp is designed as a diamond-set hexagonal link meaning it is invisible when worn. All in very good condition. Clasp works and is secure, with a safety catch and safety chain. Clasp tongue double stamped with maker's mark 'LYF' in an oblong.
