A RARE PAIR OF DIAMOND EAR PENDANTS
EACH SET WITH A BRILLIANT-CUT DIAMOND WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 6.43 AND 6.23 CARATS, SURMOUNTED BY A CUSHION-CUT DIAMOND, MOUNTED IN PLATINUM, 2.7 CM LONG
ACCOMPANIED BY TWO REPORTS NOS. 5131637036 AND 2135636904 DATED 18 JULY 2011 FROM THE GEMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA STATING THAT THE 6.43 AND 6.23 CARAT DIAMONDS ARE D COLOUR, INTERNALLY FLAWLESS CLARITY; ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY TWO SUPPLEMENTAL LETTERS FROM THE GEMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA STATING THE 6.43 AND 6.23 CARAT DIAMONDS HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE TYPE IIA. TYPE IIA DIAMONDS ARE THE MOST CHEMICALLY PURE TYPE OF DIAMOND AND OFTEN HAVE EXCEPTIONAL OPTICAL TRANSPARENCY. TYPE IIA DIAMONDS WERE FIRST IDENTIFIED AS ORIGINATING FROM INDIA (PARTICULARLY FROM THE GOLCONDA REGION) BUT HAVE SINCE BEEN RECOVERED IN ALL MAJOR DIAMOND-PRODUCING REGIONS OF THE WORLD. AMONG FAMOUS GEM DIAMONDS, THE 530.20 CARAT CULLINAN AND THE 105.60 CARAT KOH-I-NOOR, ARE EXAMPLES OF TYPE IIA
ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY TWO REPORTS NOS. 11080060 AND 11080059 DATED 31 AUGUST 2011 FROM THE GüBELIN GEMMOLOGICAL LABORATORY STATING THAT THE 6.43 AND 6.23 CARAT DIAMONDS ARE D COLOUR, INTERNALLY FLAWLESS CLARITY; ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY TWO NOTES AND APPENDIXES STATING THAT BASED ON ITS INFRARED SPECTRUM, THE 6.43 AND 6.23 CARAT DIAMONDS ARE CLASSIFIED AS TYPE IIA. ADDITIONALLY THESE 6.43 AND 6.23 CARAT DIAMONDS POSSESS AN ANTIQUE CUTTING STYLE WHICH IS RARELY ENCOUNTERED IN THE GEM TRADE TODAY. THEY DISPLAY A COLOUR AND DEGREE OF TRANSPARENCY WHICH ARE PARTICULAR TO THE UNIQUE GEMSTONES OF TYPE IIA. DIAMONDS OF THIS TYPE, EXHIBITING AN ANTIQUE CUTTING STYLE AS WELL AS A FINE QUALITY, ARE VERY RARE AND WILL MOST CERTAINLY EVOKE REFERENCES TO THE HISTORIC TERM OF 'GOLCONDA'
