PAIR OF RUBELLITE AND DIAMOND PENDENT EARRINGS

Each suspending on a heart-shaped rubellite, to a surmount set with an inverted pear-shaped rubellite, surrounded and linked by brilliant-cut diamonds, the rubellites and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 16.25 and 1.70 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, one of the heart-shape rubellite is of intense purple pink colour with very fine brilliance and face-up relatively clean clarity, the other is of a slightly more pink colour, face-up good clarity. The pear-shaped rubellites are of a similar intense purple pink colour with good clarity. Under 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions such as fingerprint or parellel tubes common in rubellites, and not noticeable when worn. The diamonds are about G-H colours, VS clarity. Condition: In very good condition. This lot is to be offered without reserve.
