Description

  • emerald, coloured diamond, yellow gold
Set with two octagonal-shaped emeralds weighing 8.04 and 7.98 carats respectively, flanked on each side by a pear-shaped fancy vivid orangy yellow diamond weighing 0.51 and 0.49 carat respectively, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold. Ring size: 6½

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF report, both emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Two pear-shaped diamonds on side, according to GIA reports, are natural, of Fancy Vivid Orangy Yellow colour. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, two emeralds are matching, of saturated strong green colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are natural crystal inclusions and some nicks or abrasions along girdle and corners, but not seen to naked eyes. Two coloured diamonds show prominent orangy yellow face-up hue, with nice brilliance, probably of SI clarity in our opinion. Condition: Karat yellow gold ring mount, in very good condition.
