PAIR OF RUBY AND DIAMOND PENDENT EARRINGS

Each suspending on a cluster of oval rubies, surmounted by oval rubies, decorated with pear-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds, the rubies and diamonds altogether weighing approximately 30.80 and 7.50 carats, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold. 

Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, all rubies are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the rubies are of vivid red colour, with nice brilliance to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are silky and fingerprint inclusions. A few stones may have surface-reaching fissures, but generally all inclusions are not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat yellow and white gold mounts, in mint condition. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that jadeite and rubies of Burmese origin and articles of jewellery containing jadeite or rubies of Burmese origin all less than 100 years old may not be imported into the US. The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.
