Description

  • 14 karat gold, ruby, dress set
Including a pair of cufflinks and three studs, the terminals set with oval cabochon rubies within gold ropetwist frames.

Condition

Rubies are a medium pinkish red, there are some slight color variations throughout. The stones are primarily decorative and are included when viewed under magnification. A few inclusions break the surface causing fissures or small chips, typical of this type of material. The mountings have some areas of tarnish and show some wear from normal use. The links on the cufflinks are connected by gold chains.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
