Description
Centring on a marquise-shaped alexandrite weighing 6.10 carats, to a cross-over shank pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.20 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gubelin report, the alexandrite is natural, of Brazilian origin, displaying strong colour change, from bluish green in daylight, to purple in incandescent light. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the alexandrite is very clean to both naked eyes and loupe check, giving a 100% colour change to different lightings, pleasing outline. Diamonds on the shank are probably of F to G colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Eternity-set diamond shank cannot be resized. Minor signs of wear, overall in very good condition.
