Each suspending a square emerald-cut fancy intense yellow diamond weighing 17.91 and 17.99 carats respectively, within a frame and basket embellished with brilliant-cut diamonds, to the similarly-set openwork half-hoop surmount decorated with collet-set brilliant-cut diamonds, the diamonds together weighing approximately 3.00 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GIA reports, both yellow diamonds are natural, of matching Fancy Intense Yellow colour, Internally Flawless and VVS1 clarity respectively. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, these two square emerald-cut intense yellow diamonds show strong face-up colour in their mounts with lively brilliance. Tiny diamonds in their surrounds are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Elegant pendent earring mounts, in very good condition.
