RUBY AND DIAMOND RING, GARRARD & CO.

Centring on a cushion-shaped ruby weighing 6.16 carats, flanked by cushion-shaped diamonds weighing 1.01 and 1.12 carats respectively, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 3¾

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and GRS reports, the ruby is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Two cushion diamonds, according to GIA reports, are matching F colour, VS2 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the ruby is of slightly deep, strong red colour, slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions, particularly close to a corner with two minor surface reaching fissure lines, not seen to naked eyes. Tiny diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Eternity diamond-set ring shank, cannot be resized and currently is American size 3 3/4. Platinum ring mount, signs of wear to the shank, otherwise in good condition.
