Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin and SSEF reports, the emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emeralds are of a lively intense green colour with typical inclusions visible under 10x loupe. The emeralds are of good clarity to the naked eyes which are uncommon in emeralds with no clarity enhancement. The diamonds are about F-G colours, VS-SI clarity. Condition: In mint condition.
