Condition
Please note that this lot also accompanied by a SSEF certificate numbered 84578, dated 9 March 2016.
Colour and Clarity: According to AGL, Gübelin and SSEF reports, all the three emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emeralds are well matched, of medium tone intense green colour, very lively and very good brilliance. Under 10x loupe inspection, there are natural fingerprint and liquid inclusions, two smaller emeralds with a few minute pits on the crown but not visible to the naked eye. The diamonds are mainly about I to K colour (a few M to N colour), mainly SI clarity (some VS & I ). Two rose-cut diamonds deficient.
Condition: Vintage silver top gold mount, with silver blackened and a few spots of light discolouration on gold at the back commensurate with the age, overall condition is good.

葡萄牙的亞美莉皇后
亞美莉皇后生於1865年，原名為奧爾良亞美莉公主。其父為路易菲利普王子，巴黎伯爵，亦是法國最後一位國皇的長孫，法國皇位的繼承者；其母則為西班牙瑪莉亞伊莎貝拉公主。亞美莉公主於1886年下嫁葡萄牙皇室的卡洛斯，並於1889年卡洛斯一世上任時成為葡萄牙皇后。其兒子曼努埃尔於1908年即位，成為葡萄牙最後一位國王。
亞美莉皇后在大婚時獲贈三件袓母綠配鑽石的珠寶，此別針就是她教父Aumale公爵所贈送之物。這枚曾為歐洲皇室成員擁有的別針固然設計奢華耀眼，但更令人驚嘆的是上面三顆袓母綠都是全天然、未經加工處理的哥倫比亞寶石，中間的一顆更重12.22卡拉。如此非凡的出處，加上如此罕有的寶石，相信不但能吸引到一眾古董珠寶愛好者，也定必令寶石藏家異常心動。
