Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS reports, both two rubies are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. They are of vivid red colour, GRS type of "pigeon's blood" colour. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the two rubies are of matching colour, eye clean with good brilliance. Under 10x loupe, there are a few natural inclusions, but not noticeable to naked eyes and not seen when worn. All side diamonds are certified by GIA, ranging from D to G colours, VVS1 to SI2 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. Clip back with pendant hook fittings.
Condition: Of classic cluster design, in mint condition.
