Centring on a hexagon-shaped emerald weighing approximately 5.80 carats, to an openwork stylised mount set with circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 5.00 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the emerald is natural, of Zambian origin, with indication of insignificant clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of medium deep, strong green colour, slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are some surface reaching fissures and pits, natural inclusions, but generally not noticeable to naked eyes in visual distance. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Platinum mount, with a pendant hook on the bottom, overall in good condition.
