Set with an oval alexandrite weighing 5.23 carats, encircled with marquise-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 2.40 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Gubelin report, the alexandrite is natural, of Brazilian origin, displaying a pronounced colour-change from bluish-green (daylight) to purple (incandescent light). Please refer to the report for details. The alexandrite is almost inclusion free under 10x loupe and is considered to be exceptional in our opinion. Surrounding marquise diamonds are probably of E to F colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Classic mount, in mint condition.
