31.30ctw Colombian Trapiche Emerald, 0.75ctw VS1-VS2/F-G Diamond & Solid 18K Yellow Gold 1.5" Drop Earrings (W/$77,000 Appraisal) Made for Royal Family - These stunning earrings were finely crafted of solid 18k yellow gold, and each contains a 15.65ct (approximate) genuine heart-cut Colombian Trapiche Emerald. The pieces are made to represent the "Heart of the Queen." These earrings have excellent investment potential, as Trapiche Emeralds are one of the rarest and most majestic gemstones in the world with only one known source, Colombia. The emeralds exhibit a six-spoke wheel emanating from the center, and get this unique pattern as a result of black carbon impurities that form in the emerald crystal junction, and emanate outwards to create this stunning effect. The rayed patterns of the Trapiche Emerald are truly spectacular and these magnificent gems are valued for both their beauty and uniqueness. Realized prices for Trapiche Emeralds have doubled over the past few years, as there is very limited supply to meet the demand from gen connoisseurs around the globe. Each earring has a solid 18k yellow gold hook which holds a solid gold frame to hoist the emeralds in place. They are embellished with approx. 0.75ctw genuine VS1-VS2/F-G round-cut pave set diamonds just above the emerald and lining the hooks, finishing the earrings beautifully. The back of the frames are decorated with ornate incised foliate details, showing wonderful attention to detail and alluding to the fine craftsmanship of the piece. The earrings measure approx. 1.5"L x 0.75"W (at the widest point). (WEIGHT: 15 grams) Please note: This piece will come with a $77,000 insurance valuation report in the winning bidder's name by a graduate appraiser.
