Centring on a cabochon cat's-eye chrysoberyl weighing 22.21 carats, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.00 carat, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, of yellowish-green colour and displaying "honey-color" in incandescent light, with no indication of treatments. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, this cat's-eye chrysoberyl is semi-transparent and clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are a few transparent natural fingerprints and included crystals to the side. The stone has a nice roundish outline and dome top, showing a very sharp and well-centred chatoyancy (cat's-eye effect) under concentrated spot light. Diamonds in the surround are probably of G to H colours, VS to SI1 clarity, brilliant stones.
Condition: Classic ring mount, in mint condition.
