Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indication of treatments, of GRS-type "Honey" colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is of medium yellowish green colour, with a distinct and centred chatoyancy (cat'e-eye effect) under spot lighting. Slightly uneven on the back, but not seen to the obverse and not affect the visual beauty of the stone. Diamonds are about J to K colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat yellow gold mount, with signs of normal wear, otherwise in good condition.
