Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the cabochon emerald is of intense green colour, moderately included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are some surface pits and minor fissures, not noticeable to naked eyes. Other calibrè-cut emeralds are of medium green colour, eye clean. Diamonds are about E to F colours, VS to SI clarity. Signed and numbered to the back. Condition: Vintage brooch, overall in very good condition.
