Centring on a step-cut emerald weighing 8.63 carats, surrounded by eighteen pear-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 4.79 carats, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 5¾

Colour and Clarity: According to both SSEF and Gubelin reports, the emerald is of Colombian origin, with no clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the emerald is of vibrant green colour, very crystalline clean clarity that is not typical of emeralds (emeralds are commonly highly included). Under closer inspection, there is a feather closer to the pavilion and minute inclusions. The diamonds are about F-G colours, VS clarity. Condition: In mint condition.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
