Description
- ruby, diamond, platinum
Centring on a cushion-shaped ruby weighing approximately 3.23 carats, to a mount set with baguette, tapered baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 2.55 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin and GRS reports, the ruby is natural, of East Africa (Mozambique) origin, with no indications of thermal treatment. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the ruby is of intense red colour, moderately included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are many natural inclusions and a tiny surface cavity close to one prong. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Platinum ring mount, in very good condition.
