Description
- emerald, diamond, platinum
Centring on a cushion-shaped emerald weighing 7.99 carats, surrounded by ten brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing 5.30 carats, the shoulders pavé-set with circular-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6¼
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the Gubelin and SSEF reports, the emerald is of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. Also accompanied by a special appendix from SSEF. In our opinion, the emerald is of exceptional gemstone quality, of brilliant, intense emerald green colour, very clean to the naked eyes. Under 10x loupe there are minute natural inclusions which is very rare for an emerald of this size without clarity enhancement. The surrounding round diamonds are all accompanied by GIA reports stating that the diamonds are of E-F colours, VVS1 to SI1 clarity. The smaller diamonds are of similar colour and clarity.
Condition: In very good condition.
