Description
- emerald, diamond, gold
Centring on a cabochon cat's-eye emerald weighing 7.04 carats, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold, one tiny diamond deficient.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the cat's-eye emerald is natural, of Brazilian origin, with indications of minor clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye emerald is of medium, intense green colour, semi-transparent, with noticeable chatoyancy (cat's-eye effect) under spot lighting. Upon 10x loupe and illumination, there are natural inclusions and a surface-reaching fissure line at one end, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.70 carat, are about F to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: One tiny diamond is deficient, not noticeable unless upon loupe check. Karat gold and white gold ring mount, has moderate signs of wear and surface scratches to the metal, otherwise in very good condition.
