Good

$50 - $150 USD total (as commercial grade melee diamonds)
Certification Estimate
Unlikely to be certified due to small size; standard GIA/IGI melee batch grading

Setting Suggestions
Prong setting in yellow gold as currently displayed; good for vintage floral motifs
Care & Maintenance
Ultrasonic cleaning and professional polishing of the metal to restore luster
