Each suspending on a step-cut emerald weighing 2.86 and 2.29 carats respectively, within a circular-cut diamond frame to the marquise-shaped diamond and circular-cut ruby surround, surmounted by circular-cut diamonds, centring on a brilliant-cut diamond weighing 0.33 carat, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 5.40 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS reports, two emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Two round diamonds mounted in the surmounts, according to GIA reports, are matching, of F colour, VVS1 clarity, with Excellent Cut, Polish and Symmetry. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emeralds are matching, of intense green colour, eye clean and lively. Under 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions and surface nicks on crown or girdles, not seen to naked eyes. Small rubies are of strong cherry red colour, eye clean. Other diamonds are probably of E to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, in very good condition.
