Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface wear and light scratches in keeping with age. Rubies pinkish-red, moderate colour saturation. Fairly good clarity with typical inclusions. Principal ruby has surface reaching fractures. Rubies in good to fair condition with some abrasion and nibbles. Please see Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue for coloured gemstones. Diamonds bright and fairly well matched. Due to the nature of the rose-cut it is not possible to calculate a total rose-cut diamond weight. Based on the surface spread alone, they appear to occupy the same surface space as diamonds with an estimated total weight of 0.55ct, however this does not reflect the true weight in any way. Individual size prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment. Minor to profuse surface reaching inclusions. Diamonds in good to fair condition, some with minor abrasion, some with significant nicks and nibbles. Stamps partially rubbed, possibly reads HG&S Ltd, Patent 30LT Snap.
