Description

- Emerald, Diamond, Platinum
Centring on a step-cut emerald weighing 5.12 carats, to a surround set with pear- and marquise-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 12.00 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat white gold, with maker's mark for Jacques Timey.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin and AGL 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 slight bluish tint, bright and lively, eye clean. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are typical fingerprint and liquid inclusions with a few surface reaching, occasional tiny pits on facet junctions and a minor chip at the pavilion, but all are not noticeable to the naked eye. The diamonds are about E to F colour, mainly VVS to VS clarity ( a few SI1 clarity). With maker's mark for Jacques Timey.
Condition: Platinum and karat white gold mount, overall in mint condition.
