More Information

PLEASE NOTE: The emeralds in this lot are untested, and we cannot verify their origin.

These earrings would require cleaning. There is opaque brown/black grime built up between the stone and the mounts, however there are what appear to be opaque brown/black inclusions in the stones. In person when viewed with the naked eye, the emeralds do appear slightly cloudy, but are a vibrant rich green.

The diamonds have a clarity of around SI - inclusions are visible with 10x magnification, but are not visible with the naked eye. Individually, the diamonds are well matched, but diamonds to one earring appear to be drawing more colour then the other.

Condition is good. There are some surface cracks to each emerald, and one stone has a surface fracture just beneath one of the claws. Claws are slightly more worn to one earring, but both emeralds appear to be secure in their settings. Diamonds are in good order, with no cracks or chips. The settings are in good order, with no signs of major damage or repair.
