Description
Set with an oval cabochon cat's-eye chrysoberyl weighing 12.32 carats, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the cross split shoulders, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, with no traces of radioactivity treatment, of GRS type "honey" colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye has nice outline and dome shape, of medium honey colour, displaying a straight and sharp chatoyant line upon spot lighting. The cat's-eye is very clean, except two to three very small chips to the girdle which are not seen in face-up and only noticeable upon close look to the side. Diamonds are generally of G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Elegant ring mount, in mint condition.
