Condition: This exquisite handcrafted platinum mounted set, with perfectly matched lively Colombian emeralds of vivid gooseberry bluish-green colour are unmistakably from the Colombia's Chivor mine.

Accompanied with Grs certificate number (GRS2015-118031) stating that the stones are of Colombian origin and with indications of Insignificant Clarity enhancement. Report done with gem in setting. The pendant, with emerald weighing 6.06cts, surrounded by twenty five diamonds totalling approximately 6.0cts. Accompanied with Grs certificate number (GRS2013-022944) stating that the emerald it is of Colombian origin and with Indications of minor Clarity enhancement. Report done with gem loose out of setting. Almost all emeralds will have clarity modification to enhance the gem done by with a special oil. This treatment of the gem is completely acceptable. If the gem has had little or no treatment it makes it rare and therefore more desirable. The indications on all the Grs reports show insignificant clarity enhancement of these emeralds further increasing their rarity and desirability. It is extremely rare to have a perfectly matched set like this due to the difficulty in matching different crystals that have different levels of colour and purity. When this elegant set was created, the four gems were cut from the same raw emerald crystal to ensure the stones match perfectly. Finding a crystal large enough and cutting it this way has created something of breathtaking quality. As supply diminishes at Colombian mines such as Chivor, where these emeralds were discovered, the rarity of this set will only increase.
