CAT'S-EYE EMERALD AND DIAMOND RING

Centring on a cabochon cat's-eye emerald weighing 8.32 carats, flanked by shield-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 1.60 carats, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6½

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and GRS reports, the cat's-eye emerald is natural, of Brazil origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye emerald is of medium intense, green colour, semi-transparent clarity with surface pits close to bottom on the side. Upon spot illumination, there is a noticeable chatoyant line. Diamonds on side are about G and H colours, both of SI clarity. Condition: Platinum ring mount, overall in very good condition.
