Condition
Colour and Clarity: Both rubies are certified. According to Gübelin and GRS reports, the two rubies are natural, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the rubies are of medium to medium dark, slightly purplish red colour, moderately included to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are a few surface reaching fissures and shallow chips, which are not noticeable to naked eyes. Surrounding diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VVS2 to VS clarity. Clip back fitting only.
Condition: In mint condition.
