ART DECO RUBY AND DIAMOND BRACELET

The articulated band composed of carved ruby leaves, joined by circular-cut and baguette diamonds, the rubies and diamonds together weighing approximately 30.00 and 2.00 carats respectively, mounted in platinum, length approximately 150mm, circa 1930's.  

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the carved rubies are probably of slightly purplish red to red colours, semi-transparent to translucent clarity. Upon close look and 10x check, there are surface-reaching lines and chips. Diamonds are generally of F to G colours, VS to SI clarity. Unsigned, but numbered 44474 to the clasp. Condition: Signs of wear consistent with age and use, otherwise in good condition.
