A RARE EMERALD AND DIAMOND PENDANT
Set with a pear-shaped emerald weighing approximately 12.12 carats, within a marquise-cut diamond surround, to the similarly-cut diamond surmount, mounted in platinum, 4.5 cm long
Accompanied by report no. 58387 dated 8 February 2011 from the SSEF Swiss Gemmological Institute stating that the 12.12 carat emerald is of Colombia origin, with no indications of clarity modification; also accompanied by an appendix stating that the emerald possesses extraordinary characteristics and merits special mention and appreciation. The emerald exhibits a well-saturated and green colour and fine purity combined with an attractive shape and cutting style. Microscopic examination revealed inclusions, which represent the hallmarks of Colombian emeralds from the famous mining areas as Muzo, Coscuez, and Chivor, all located in the green foothills of the Cordillera Oriental in the Colombian Andes. Its saturated green colour is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements in the stone, typical and characteristic for emeralds of Colombia. The fact that this emerald shows no indications of clarity modification is a further sign of rarity. Natural emeralds from Colombia of this size and quality represent a rarity and the described gemstone is thus a very exceptional treasure
Please note that according to the verbal opinion of the SSEF Swiss Gemmological Institute in March 2015 that the emerald is of Colombia origin, with no indications of clarity modification
Also accompanied by report no. 11067168 dated 5 July 2011 from the Gübelin Gemmological Laboratory stating that the 12.12 carat emerald is of Colombia origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement
