Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and AGL reports, the cabochon emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the cabochon emerald is medium intense green colour, slightly included to naked eyes with high degree of transparency and brilliance. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural crystals and fingerprint inclusions, very common in natural Colombian emerald. Diamonds in the surround are about G to H colours, VS clarity, lively brilliance.
Condition: Platinum mount, with detachable ring fitting, in very good condition.
