Description

  • Emerald, Diamond, Platinum

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the AGL and Gübelin reports, the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of light-medium green colour, with bright face-up appearance. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are moderate typical fingerprint and crystal inclusions with a few surface reaching tiny crystals to the minute opening at the crown facets, but all are not visible to the naked eye. The diamonds are about H to I colour, VS clarity. The mount is signed. Condition: Platinum ring mount with karat white gold hinge catch and stopper. Shows signs of normal wear, overall in good condition.
