The diamonds are approximately H-J color, predominantly VS clarity with some VVS and SI examples. The emeralds are decorative in quality. With double scratch number 1826 on the reverse. Well made, with nice millegrain detailing throughout. Signed on small applied plaque on the reverse. Accompanied by AGL report no.
