Each suspending on a hexagonal emerald weighing 9.62 and 8.00 carats respectively, surmounted by brilliant-cut diamonds, supporting a cascading fringe of pear-shaped diamonds, the diamonds altogether weighing 8.70 carats, embellished to the back by circular-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and SSEF reports, the two emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indication of clarity enhancement. All large round and pear-shaped diamonds are matching F colour, VVS2 to VS2 clarity respectively. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the two emeralds are matching, of strong green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions, which are very common in natural emeralds and noticeable to naked eyes.
Condition: Platinum mounts, articulated links, in very good condition.
