Accompanied by Gübelin, SSEF and AGL reports stating that the 8.76, 7.52 and 6.41 carat emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Further accompanied by AGL letter stating that: "All three emeralds exhibit an intense and saturated green colour that is representative of top-quality stones from this auspicious source. Emeralds of such color and quality are considered to have originated from the Muzo mining district in Western flank of Cordillera Oriental. These outstanding emeralds also possess a high clarity. They have additionally been fashioned in a cushion-shape cutting style that gives them charm that is difficult to quantify. Such cutting provides a complement to the overall visual appeal of these remarkable gemstones. It is exceedingly difficult to find a trio of such well-matched, top-quality Colombian emeralds. AGL has developed a Match Rating^TM that defines the comparative similarity in appearance of multiple gemstones and reflects the uniformity of all quality parameters. The three emeralds described in the above mentioned AGL reports have received a Match Rating^TM of : Excellent. The category Excellent is the highest ranking and defines a matched pair of gemstones that is rare to achieve and reflects a high level of exclusivity." Further accompanied by four GIA reports, stating that the diamonds weighing 0.73, 0.73, 0.71 and 0.70 carat are D to E colour, VVS2 to VS1 clarity.
