Colour and Clarity: According to AGL reports, both emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Two pear-shaped diamonds to the bottom, according to GIA reports, are matching D colour, VS2 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emeralds are of brilliant, intense to strong green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are minor natural inclusions, not seen to naked eyes. Other cushion diamonds are about G to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum mounts, in very good condition.
