The ruby beads are medium-deep slightly purplish red and moderately included. The emeralds are a bright medium green, moderately included with a few examples of surface reaching inclusions and abrasions at the facet junctions. The diamonds are approximately G-I color, predominantly VS clarity. Signed on an applied plaque on the reverse. RING: The garnet is a lively medium-deep slightly reddish orange and eye-clean. The cabochon peridots are medium slightly yellowish green, moderately included, and nicely complement the color of the garnet. The wood is smooth and intact.
