Description
- Harry Winston
Set with an oval ruby weighing 4.73 carats, flanked on each side by channel-set baguette diamonds, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold, signed Winston.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gubelin report, the ruby is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of thermal enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the ruby shows a vibrant red face-up colour, eye clean. Under 10x loupe, there is a major feather running across the table to the side and a small surface opening on pavilion close to culet. All these inclusions are not noticeable to naked eyes and do not affect general brilliance of the ruby. Baguette diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity. Signed to the shank.
Condition: Minor abrasions and scratches to the mount, otherwise in good condition.
