PAIR OF RUBY CUFFLINKS

Each designed as a hinged oval link, set throughout with sugar loaf cabochon rubies, to an engraved gallery of foliate design.

Rubies slightly purplish red hue, medium saturation of colour, well matched in size and colour, typical inclusions visible with a 10x lens, a few with very small chips only visible with magnification. A little movement to some of the stones in the setting but they appear to be secure. Some scratches and small indentations consistent with wear. Seamless closing mechanism. In very good condition. Please note the colour in the catalogue is more orangy and they are more pinkish in reality.
