The step-cut emerald weighing 2.95 carats, flanked by rows of baguette diamonds, supported by a pavé-set brilliant-cut diamond-set shank, the diamonds together weighing approximately 4.10 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gubelin report, the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with no indication of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of brilliant green colour, very clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there's only minor crystal inclusions and a tiny surface reaching inclusion at one corner which almost covered by the claw. Generally, this emerald appears clean even under 10x check, which is very rare for natural emerald. Diamonds are probably F to G colours, VVS2 to VS clarity.
Condition: Diamonds set throughout the shank, which cannot be re-sized. Current ring size is 5. Very nice mounting, in mint condition.
