The lot is in good overall condition with scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. The gold is generally tarnished/discoloured and there are very small soft solder repairs. Most of the seed pearls are drilled, some replacements. The hardstone cameos include a male with laurel leaf crown and a lady. Both cameo subjects face right, possibly replacements. The cameos have small nicks and abrasions. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The rubies are a pinkish red hue with light, eye visible inclusions and some deep scratches. Unhallmarked. Jade untested for natural colour origin.
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.
