Condition Report
Overall condition fair. There are scratches to both in keeping with the age of the rings. The rubies are significantly abraded, there are some chips to the diamond points visible with magnification. The diamonds to the five-stone ring are bright, individual size and/or setting prevents accurate colour/clarity assessment.
Some of the settings are quite significantly worn. Stamped 18ct plat. There is a solder join to the reverse. Ring sizes N1/2 and N. Please see the Important Notices for Purchasers in our catalogue for coloured gemstones.
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.
