Description

  • emerald, pearl, platinum
Each suspending on a cushion-shaped emerald weighing 10.10 and 8.99 carats respectively, surmounted by a button-shaped natural pearl measuring 10.04 - 10.06 x 7.70mm and 10.00 - 10.08 x 8.02mm respectively, decorated by circular-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the AGL and Gübelin certificates, both the emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indication of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinon, the emeralds are matching, of meduim deep, strong green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are some minor inclusions and one emerald has a few tiny nicks on crown, but generally not noticeable to naked eyes. Two pearls in the surmount, according to SSEF report, are natural, saltwater pearls. In our opinion, the pearls are of button-shape, matching white colour, good lustre, with only minute blemishes and not noticeable to naked eyes. Other tiny diamonds are probably about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum mounts, in very good condition.
