Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin and SSEF reports, the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. In our opinion, the emerald is of a lively saturated green colour, very clean clarity. It is very rare for emeralds of no clarity enhancement to have such high clarity. Under 10x loupe, there are typical inclusions. According to the GIA report, the diamond is of E colour, VS1 clarity, with excellent cut, polish and symmetry. The smaller round diamonds are of F-G colours, VS clarity. Condition: In mint condition.
