Accompanied by two AGL reports: No. CS 69946/1-5 stating that the five rubies in the necklace are of Burmese origin, with indications of heating. No. CS 69945 stating that the ruby in the ring is of Burmese origin, with indications of heating. Please note that parties with a direct or indirect interest in this lot may be bidding on this lot.
