Description
- emerald, diamond, platinum
Each set with a cushion-shaped sugar loaf cabochon emerald weighing approximately 9.58 carats, framed by brilliant-cut diamonds altogether weighing approximately 6.50 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and AGL reports, two sugarloaf emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the two emeralds are well-matching, of strong green colour, eye clean with nice glow. Upon loupe check, there are some natural crystal and feather inclusions, very common to natural emeralds. Cushion diamonds in the surround are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Platinum earclip fittings, in very good condition.
