Description
- emerald, diamond and platinum
Centring on a cushion-shaped emerald weighing 10.35 carats, surrounded by oval diamonds, highlighted by circular-cut emeralds, the shoulders pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, the diamonds together weighing approximately 4.90 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with indication of minor clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of bright and intense green colour, very slightly included to naked eyes and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural inclusions, a few surface-reaching fingerprints and nicks on girdle, which are quite common to natural emerald and not seen to naked eyes. Oval diamonds are about E to F colours, VS clarity. Other tiny round diamonds are about F to G colours, similar clarity.
Condition: Platinum ring mount, has minor signs of wear, overall in very good condition.
