Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, with no indication of treatment, of "GRS-type Honey-color". Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is of medium greenish yellow colour, with prominent chatoyant line (cat's-eye effect) under spot lighting. Under 10x loupe and transmitted lighting, there are some natural inclusions close to side and bottom, not seen in normal lighting and naked eyes. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.90 carat are about H to I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white and yellow gold mount, in very good condition.
