Description
- cat's-eye chrysoberyl, diamond, gold
Centring on a cabochon cat's-eye chrysoberyl weighing 51.00 carats, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 2.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, with no indications of any treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is of medium yellow-green colour, very clean and transparent to naked eyes. Upon very strong illumination, the chatoyancy (cat's-eye effect) is not prominent, but centred. There are only one small crystal and two minor fingerprints upon loupe check, very common to natural gemstone and not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Minor signs of wear to the shank, otherwise in very good condition.
