Condition Report
The lot is in good overall condition with light scratches in keeping with general wear. The band has been repaired/resized with a minor line of faint pitting and very slight discolouration. The diamonds appear bright and well matched. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. One of the inward facing cabochon eyes has shallow chips and small fractures where it has hit the diamond on the adjacent diamond head. The rubies are in closed-back settings. The rubies are moderately well matched with red through purplish red colour. Typical inclusions. Minor abrasions. Ring size I 1/2.
