Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rubies are of medium deep, red colour. Upon 10x loupe, there are silks, crystals and surface-reaching fingerprints in the rubies, generally not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, overall in very good condition.
