Centring on a cushion-shaped emerald weighing 12.63 carats, surrounded by brilliant-cut, pear- and marquise-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 7.00 carats, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6¼
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and SSEF reports, the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of saturated strong green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural feather inclusions, not noticeable to naked eyes and very common to emeralds. Diamonds are about E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity. Condition: Platinum ring mount, in mint condition.
