Each centring on a circular-cut ruby weighing 3.51 and 3.25 carats respectively, surrounded by tiers of brilliant-cut diamonds altogether weighing approximately 6.00 carats, signed and numbered 1125 and 1126.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the rubies are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the rubies are matching, of very strong to vivid, very slightly purplish red to red colour, very clean to naked eyes and lively. Upon 10x loupe, both rubies are very clean, with only a few minor surface chips along girdle or on crown, not seen to naked eyes and not affect the brilliance. Diamonds are about E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity. Signed "Cartier Paris" and numbered.
Condition: Pair of classic ear clips, in very good condition, almost as new.
