Comment: Permitted since 2015: Oiled emeralds. (Please read here if you want to know why.)

Sparkly (!) triangular Sandawana emeralds matched as pair even with slightly different outer shapes. They offer a fine option for a highly visible pair of studs. Fine color and good luster. Lens-only inclusions. Sandawana emeralds transfer color as well as big ones in even small sizes. IGI report with 'good color', 'minor oiling', and 'transparent body'. No windows. On images one appears to be slightly darker but I can't see this in person. Fine quality in affordable sizes without trade-off in color or blink.
