Description
- Alexandrite, Diamond, Gold
Each suspending an oval alexandrite weighing 1.91 and 1.64 carats respectively, to a marquise-shaped diamond surround, surmounted by variously-shaped diamonds, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 6.15 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin reports, the two alexandrites are natural, of Brazilian origin, displaying a pronounced colour-change effect, with no indications of treatments. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the two alexandrites are matching and displays a strong colour-change, from medium bluish green under daylight, to purple colour under incandescent lighting. Very clean to both naked eyes and loupe check, with livey brilliance. Diamonds are about E to F colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum mounts, in mint condition.
