Description
Set with a step-cut emerald weighing 1.65 carats, flanked on each side by a trapeze-shaped diamond, the shank decorated with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to AGL report, the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with no clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of medium, intense green colour, very clean to naked eyes, lively stone. Under 10x loupe, there are only a few minute natural inclusions and a tiny nick close to a prong, rare quality for natural, non-oiled emerald. Two trapezoid diamonds together weighing approximately 0.80 carat on shoulders are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity. Tiny round diamonds on the shank are of similar quality.
Condition: Classic prong-set mount, in mint condition.
