Export issue: Yes

Postage: Auction Default

The lot is in good overall condition with light scratches in keeping with general wear. Some slightly heavier scratches to the hardstone. The inside of the case shows the work marks, scuffs and uneven surface. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The hardstone is a very dark brownish black colour, with slight areas of lighter translucent material and flecks of pyrite. The clasp does not close securely. The diamonds are mostly rose-cut with a single-cut diamond collet forming part of the clasp. The diamonds appear bright and well matched, estimated total diamond spread weight 2.10cts, which is no indication of the total diamond weight. Individual diamonds too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. Please see important notices for purchasers in the catalogue for Coloured Gemstones. The rubies are a well matched purplish red hue. Minor abrasions.
