Emerald and Diamond Necklace

The double-strand necklace composed of ninety-six emerald drops together weighing approximately 100.00 carats, spaced by diamond-set beads, mounted in 18 karat white gold, length approximately 460mm.

Colour and Clarity: Based on rough estimation, the emerald drops together weighing more than 100 carats. In our opinion, the emerald drops are generally matching, of medium, bright green colour, moderately included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural inclusions, surface reaching fissures and pits, very common clarity in natural emerald drops or beads. Diamonds are about H to J colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Signs of wear and minor scratches to the karat white gold mount, otherwise in good condition.
