  50 rose cut diamonds. We do not have the weight of the diamonds which is normal in our trade when it comes to rose cuts.
  - When we provide weights, colour grades, and clarity of diamonds, these are approximate unless otherwise stated, as we do not remove diamonds from their settings to preserve the integrity of the piece.

  It is a very common practice to treat gemstones to intensify their clarity or colour. The item in question has not been tested in this regard.

  Hallmarks
  The jewel bears the French swan mark for silver and the owl mark for 18 carat gold. These marks do not prove that the jewel was made in France. Rather, they indicate that precious metal parts of foreign or uncertain origin were submitted to the Frenchassay authorities for control. In other words, the marks point to French control, not necessarily to French manufacture.
