Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, with no indication of treatments. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is of medium deep, yellow-green colour, with prominent chatoyancy (cat's-eye effect) under spot lighting. Upon transmitted light, the cat's-eye is quite clean, with only a natural fingerprint on side, not seen in normal lighting. Colourless diamonds are about H to I colours, mostly VS clarity. Black diamonds are opaque.
Condition: Karat white and yellow gold mount, in very good condition.
