20 Carats D Flawless Type Iia an Exceptional Pair of Diamond and Coloured Diamond Earrings Emerald-cut Diamonds of 10.04

Among the rarest objects a collector may hope to encounter, these emerald cut type IIa diamond earrings stand entirely apart, a pair of D flawless type IIa stones of 10.04 and 10.03 carats, accented by a fancy intense purplish pink round brilliant of 0.14 carat. Presented by Legacy Diamonds and Gemstones, the piece is composed for the connoisseur who recognises that type IIa purity is the very summit of the diamond world. To assemble two such stones, matched to within a hundredth of a carat, is the work of patience and privilege both, and the result is a jewel of a kind that passes through few hands in a lifetime. Type IIa diamonds contain virtually no nitrogen, lending them an extraordinary transparency that ordinary stones cannot approach, and at D colour and flawless clarity these emerald-cut diamonds reach the very pinnacle of whiteness. The matched pair, near twenty carats together, is crowned by an intense purplish pink brilliant whose colour is the rarest of all in nature, a single warm note against the pure white fire. British and European collectors hold such a contrast in the highest regard. The metal and finer details are detailed on request, recorded with the care such stones demand. The emerald cut conceals nothing, and stones of this order demand flawless handwork to match. Each diamond is seated by hand in gold so its long stepped facets run perfectly parallel, the corners protected and the tables level, the pink brilliant set to draw the eye as a singular and deliberate accent. The goldsmith trues every line under loupe, the reverse finished as finely as the face, the slow and reverent craftsmanship a piece of this rarity rightly commands. Nothing here is left to chance, and the setting rises throughout to honour the diamonds it holds. Worn, the earrings are quietly extraordinary. The type IIa transparency reads as light made pure, almost weightless on the eye, the pink accent lends a single soft note of warmth, and the emerald geometry flatters with calm authority from any angle. Balanced on the lobe for comfort despite their consequence, they reward the closest scholarly inspection and reserve their full magnificence for the knowing eye alone. This is a jewel for the most considered collection, where rarity and restraint are valued above all else and a stone is read for what it truly is. Independent certification appropriate to stones of this calibre can be arranged before any commitment, with a complete provenance file held in strict confidence for the serious enquirer on request alone. The jewel may be numbered on request. We invite you into a private, unhurried conversation in the Negotiation Room, where a jewel of this rarity may be studied at leisure and discussed with the discretion it absolutely demands, the timing and the terms left entirely and comfortably in your own careful hands.
