The emerald has a light to mid green hue with surface abrasion, measuring approx. 5.5mm length x 4.3mm width, and contains multiple pale inclusions that give a sub-transparent appearance. Diamonds are well matched, fairly bright and lively, with estimated VS2 to SI2 clarity and H to K colour, assessed mounted. The ring mount has scuffs, scratches, nicks and chips commensurate for use and marks are clearly struck. One side of the underbezel to the setting has been pierced/worn away, probably due to prior wear against another ring. Gross weight approx. 3.1gm.
