The circular frame pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, embellished with two detachable butterflies concealingly-set with rubies edged with brilliant-cut diamonds, each decorated to the center with a marquise-shaped diamond, the rubies and diamonds together weighing approximately 30.00 and 5.80 carats respectively, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold, signed and numbered 7308, clip fittings.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the calibre-cut rubies are matching, of medium, intense red colour, eye clean. Diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VVS2 to VS clarity. Signed and numbered. Condition: Two butterflies are detachable and worn as pair of earclips. One tiny ruby probably has been repaired, but not noticeable unless careful check with 10x loupe. Overall in very good condition.
