The diamonds appear bright and well matched, estimated total diamond weight 0.08ct. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. The single-cut diamond eyes are a later addition or repair with a large area of sold solder visible. Please see important notices in the back of the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The ruby is a deep, slightly purplish red hue with large inclusions. The ring is slightly squashed, into an oval-shape. Ring size R.
