Centring on a step-cut emerald weighing 22.84 carats, supported by a frame of bombé form delicately-set with pear- and marquise-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 4.85 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the principle emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with indications of minor clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emerald is medium dark, intense green colour, clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are only a few minor and transparent inclusions, and two to three tiny nicks on girdle close to a corner. Generally, all these internal features are not noticeable to unaided eyes, which is rare to emerald of this size. Diamonds in the surround are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: In mint condition.
