Pair of Emerald and Diamond Earrings

Each set with a step-cut emerald together weighing approximately 16.91 carats, framed by baguette and pear-shaped diamonds, to the circular-cut diamond gallery, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 6.50 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat white gold, with clip and retractable post fittings. 

Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin report, the emeralds are natural, of Colombian origin, one with indications of minor clarity enhancement, and the other with indications of moderate clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the emeralds are medium-light green colour, eye clean. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are moderate typical fingerprint inclusions with some surface reaching, minor pits on facet junctions but not visible to the naked eye, and minor chips on girdle and culet. The diamonds are mainly about H to I colour (with a few J colour), VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, show signs of minor wear, otherwise overall condition is very good.
