Two ruby beads on pendant are of strong red colour, translucency clarity with surface pits and fissures under magnification. Two tiny cabochon rubies on earclips are of intense red colour, eye clean. Pendant and earclips are signed to the back and numbered. Wristwatch is signed to the dial, case back and buckle. Condition: Please note that we do not guarantee the watch movement, quartz movement and is in working order while cataloguing. Signs of wear and surface scratches to metal, mostly to the wristwatch, otherwise all in very good condition.
