Purchasing information-
Overall condition good. Minor surface scratches and scuffs in keeping with general wear. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue and on our website for Coloured Gemstones. The rubies are a light pinkish-red with low saturation, and typical inclusions that somewhat affect the passage of light through the stone. Estimated total diamond weight 0.10ct. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Light and dark inclusions can be seen scattered to each diamond under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The US prohibits the importation of items containing rubies or jadeite originating in Burma. For your convenience we have applied this notice to lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating in Burma, or those of indeterminate origin. Please be advised that inability of a purchaser to import any such item into the US or elsewhere will not constitute grounds for non-payment or cancellation of the sale.
