Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS report, the ruby is natural, of Burmese origin with no indication of heating, and 'Pigeon's Blood' colour, and the emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with indications of insignificant clarity enhancement. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the ruby is of strong red colour. Emerald is of a medium bright green colour, slightly included to naked eyes. Both the ruby and emerald have natural inclusions, a few surface-reaching fissures and tiny nicks on their girdles under 10x loupe, but generally not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about I to J colours, VS clarity. Condition: In very good condition. Some signs of wear consistent with use. 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.
