Overall fair to good condition, the settings are worn in places and may need attention, the rubies are not very well matched, an end ruby is a purpley/red, and is possibly synthetic, and has minor abrasion to the some of the facet edges and nibbles and a couple of small nicks to the girdle, it has a fairly even colour saturation. The central ruby is a slightly pinky/red, with minor abrasion and nibbles to some of the facet edges, mainly the central table facets, there is a surface reaching internal fracture to the girdle, there is a large chip to the pavillion facets as well as some smaller ones. The final ruby has a slightly hazy appearance and is an orangey/red with minor abrasion and nicks to the facet edges with angular colour zoning visible under 10x magnification, there are black and inclusions visible and a chip to the pavillion facet. Two of the diamonds have small chips to the girdles and one has a chip to the table facet. Ring size M.
