Purchasing information-
Overall condition good to fair. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear. The top of the cluster has been soldered solid to the bar. The rubies are well matched for colour with a bright slightly purplish-red hue with strong intensity, and typical inclusions visible under magnification. Both rubies are in good to fair condition showing abrasion to some facet edges, and some small scratches. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Light and dark inclusions can be seen under magnification some of which are surface reaching. Individual size/setting of diamonds prevents accurate and full colour/clarity assessment. Gold has been electronically tested. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue or on our website for coloured gemstones. The US prohibits the importation of items containing rubies or jadeite originating in Burma.
