Centring on an oval cabochon cat's-eye chrysoberyl weighing 32.40 carats, encircled by brilliant-cut diamonds, amid a broad shank, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, with no indication of treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye is of deep brownish yellowish green colour, showing a distinct chatoyancy (cat's-eye) under concentrated light. Very clean, except a small surface reaching feather cutting on the pavilion to the side, visible only under strong transmitted light and careful inspection. Nice face-up and profile outlines. Side diamonds are probably of I to J colours, VS to SI1 clarity.
Condition: Signs of wear to the shank, otherwise in good condition.
