Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the green tourmaline is of medium light to medium, green colour, clean to both naked eyes and loupe check. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.40 carat are about J to K colours, VS clarity. Rubelite on the other ring is of strong, purple red colour, clean to naked eyes and loupe check, except there are two tiny chips at the table corners, not noticeable. Diamonds are about K to L colours, VS clarity.
Condition: These two rings are offered without reserve. Signs of minor wear to the mounts, overall both in very good condition.
