The double chain link bracelet bordered by 18 round rubies, gross weight approximately 103 dwts, length 8 inches, signed Van Cleef & Arpels, indistinctly numbered NY_768.
Condition
In good condition, with some minor tarnish evident where the rubies attach to the bracelet that is not apparent when worn.

The rubies are well matched for color, a rich purplish red, lightly to moderately included, with some examples of surface reaching fractures and abrading to facet junctions. Bears a nice heft.
