Description
Centring on an oval cabochon emerald weighing 10.39 carats, amid a single flower head pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the shank, the petals further enhanced with circular-cut alexandrites, the diamonds and alexandrites together weighing approximately 5.80 and 1.45 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white and blackened gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the cabochon emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with indications of minor clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of medium, bright green colour, very slightly included to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are minor natural inclusions and a few surface-reaching fissures. The tiny alexandrites in the surround display moderate colour change from bluish green to greyish purple colour, eye clean, lively stones. Diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: In mint condition.
