  • emerald, diamond, platinum

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin and a Swiss gem reports, the two emeralds are natural, with indications of minor clarity enhancement. AGL report states that the emeralds have indications of faint clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emeralds are well-matching, of slightly deep, strong green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are only minor crystal and fingerprint inclusions. Tip of one emerald is slightly chipped, not noticeable unless careful loupe check, and the same emerald has a tiny cavity on the back, not noticeable. Diamonds are mostly E to F colours, VS clarity. With maker's mark for Jacques Timey for Harry Winston. Condition: Pendants are detachable. Platinum ear clip fittings, in good condition.
