Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the emerald drop is natural, of Colombian origin, with indications of minor clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of intense green colour, slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are typical natural crystal and feather inclusions, with surface reaching fissures and nicks, but not noticeable when worn. Diamonds are mostly about G to I colours, VS to SI clarity. Signed to the clasp on back, with platinum marks.
Condition: Vintage necklace, with signs of wear and surface abrasions to the metal, consistent to its age, overall in good condition.
