Condition Report
Overall condition good. Minor surface wear in keeping with general wear. The principal ruby has a bright appearance with a medium red to pink hue and fairly even colour saturation. Several of the ruby accents are abraded and chipped. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Light nicks and chips can be seen to some. Fine feathers and fractures can be seen under magnification. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. Please see the Important Notice for Purchasers in our catalogue and online for coloured gemstones.
