Each suspending an oval ruby weighing 2.99 and 2.88 carats respectively, framed by circular-cut and pear-shaped diamonds, to the circular-cut diamond surmount, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 2.80 carats, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold, pendants detachable.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin and GRS reports, both the rubies are natural, of Burmese (Mogok, Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating, and GRS report fruther states that the colour is vivid red (GRS type "pigeon's blood"). Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the rubies are medium saturated red colour, well-matched. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are moderate typical fingerprint, crystal and clouds inclusions with a few surface reaching fingerprints, occasional tiny pits and chips at the table, facet junction and girdle not noticeable to the naked eye, and with minor cavities at the pavilion. The diamonds are about G to H colour VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat white and yellow gold mount, shows signs of minor wear, overall in very good condition.
