Description
Set with a square step-cut emerald weighing 5.06 carats, flanked on each side with a baguette diamond together weighing approximately 1.60 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both the Gubelin and AGL reports, the emerald is natural, with no indication of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of medium to medium dark, intense green colour, very clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are some surface reaching inclusions and nicks close to a corner, but not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are probably of G colour, VVS2 to VS1 clarity.
Condition: Classic ring mount, in very good condition.
