Almost all emeralds will have clarity modification to enhance the gem done by with a special oil. This treatment of the gem is completely acceptable. If the gem has had little or no treatment it makes it rare and therefore more desirable. The indications on all the GRS reports show insignificant clarity enhancement of these emeralds further increasing their rarity and desirability.

It is extremely rare to have a perfectly matched set like this due to the difficulty in matching different crystals that have different levels of colour and purity. When this elegant set was created, the four gems were cut from the same raw emerald crystal to ensure the stones match perfectly. Finding a crystal large enough and cutting it this way has created something of breathtaking quality. As supply diminishes at Colombian mines such as Chivor, where these emeralds were discovered, the rarity of this set will only increase.
