Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin reports, both emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, one with indications of insignificant clarity enhancement, and the other with minor clarity enhancement. All four cushion diamonds in the surmount are certified. Two smaller cushion diamonds are E colour, VS1 and VS2 clarity respectively. Other two larger diamonds are matching, F colour, VS2 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emeralds have matching colour and brilliance, of strong green colour with lively brilliance and eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are a few natural inclusions and tiny nicks on girdle or culet, but generally not noticeable upon loupe check and not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are lively, tiny stones are about E to F colours, VS clarity. Condition: In very good condition.
