Centring on a step-cut emerald weighing 10.22 carats, flanked on each side with a shield-shaped diamond, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gubelin and SSEF reports, the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with minor clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emerald has a brilliant green colour, crystalline interior appearing very clean to naked eyes which is rare for emeralds. Two shield-shaped diamonds are probably of F colour, VS1 clarity.
Condition: Simple ring mount, in mint condition.
