Of cluster design, each centring on an oval ruby weighing 2.09 and 2.03 carats respectively, within a surround of six pear-shaped diamonds altogether weighing 11.54 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold, clip and pendant fittings.

Colour and Clarity: All stones on the earclips are certified. According to GRS reports, both rubies are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal enhancement, of vivid red, GRS type of "pigeon's blood" red colour. The 0.70, 0.76, 0.80, 1.00, 1.00, 1.00, 1.01, 1.01, 1.01, 1.02, 1.02, 1.21 carat diamonds are of D to F colours, VS1 to SI2 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the rubies are matching, very clean to both naked eyes and loupe check which is rare to natural rubies. All pear-shaped diamonds have nice brilliance.
