Condition Report
Overall condition good. Surface scratches and discolouration in keeping with general wear. The pearls are well matched for colour with a creamy-white tone with fair lustre and pink overtones. The diamonds are bright, lively and well matched. Some diamonds show light nicks, one is cracked. Individual size and setting prevents accurate colour and clarity assessment. The ruby has a patchy medium light to dark, with fairly good clarity showing typical inclusions, that do not greatly affect the passage of light through the stone, the ruby is badly cracked.

For your convenience we have applied this notice to lots which contain rubies or jadeite originating in Burma, or those of indeterminate origin.
