Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rubelite is of strong purplish red colour, eye clean and lively. Under 10x loupe, there are some minor natural inclusions, not noticeable to naked eyes. Other smaller rubelites on the bracelet are generally matching, of intsense purple-red colour, eye clean with good live. There are natural inclusions under loupe check and a few stones have tiny surface pits or openings on girdle, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to H colours, VS to SI clarity.
Condition: The ring and bracelet are offered without reserve. Karat white gold mounts, with signs of wear, particularly to the ring shank, otherwise both in very good condition.
