Pair of Ruby and Diamond Earrings

Each centring on an oval ruby altogether weighing approximately 6.62 carats, to a pear-shaped diamond cluster surround enhanced by circular-cut diamond frames, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 6.20 carats, mounted in platinum.

Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, the rubies are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating, of "pigeon's blood" red colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the rubies are matching, of intense red colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are silk and crystal inclusions, with surface reaching fissures mostly close to girdle, not seen to naked eyes. Marquise and pear-shaped diamonds are about E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity; other tiny diamonds are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum mounts, in mint condition.
