Description
Each suspending an emerald-cut topaz weighing 16.67 and 15.10 carats respectively, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the surmount, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 1.45 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gubelin report, the two yellow topazes are natural. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, these two topazes are well-matched, showing strong yellow colour of medium tone, extremely clean to both naked eyes and loupe check. There may only have a few tiny nicks on facet corners under 10x loupe and careful check. Rich colour with nice brilliance, very rare to emerald-cut gem. Diamonds in the surround are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Clean and simple settings, in mint condition.
