Condition

In good condition overall with some scratching to the mountings. The rubies are translucent, as is typical with a star ruby cabochon. The asterism ranges from moderately distinct to distinct, at least one of the stones has some surface reaching inclusions which interfere with the rays. The diamonds are approximately G-H color, VS-SI clarity.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

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.
