This is our pièce de résistance, featuring an antique 5.57 Colombian Emerald from Poli Trading Co., certified AGL insignificant treatment. This emerald is cut in an antique cutting style with a large footprint (it looks closer to the scale of a 7-8 carat emerald). Few emeralds of this size have the color or clarity to support this type of cut. Master goldsmith Kate Lee Short hand-fabricated this piece as a pendant with step cut diamonds on the pendant's profile, which can be worn alone or convert to two other pieces. 

The first conversion is the emerald pendant with a diamond lariat. The diamond is a vintage shield cut diamond of 1.52 carats, and certified D color and internally flawless (IF) clarity. This diamond can also be worn separately as a platinum solitaire ring. 

The skill to create a piece of this quality and complexity is rarely possible in contemporary jewelry. Each mechanism is finely wrought by hand. You will never see another; it is truly one-of-a-kind.

Colombian emerald: antique emerald cut, AGL certified insignificant treatment. Dimensions: 14.33 x 11.07 x 3.9 mm. 

Shield diamond: vintage, 1.51 carats, certified D/IF.

The diamonds that surround the emerald pendant are vintage step cut shaped, of over two carats in total weight, and are FG/VS quality. 

The collection of jewels comes in a custom made Italian box, which includes the bronze tool which functions as a key, necessary to convert the jewels.
