Colour and Clarity: Pear-shaped Diamond Ring - In our opinion, the principle stone is about I to J colour, other smaller diamonds are probably of H to I colours, overall VS clarity. Ruby Ring - In our opinion, the cabochon ruby is medium deep, strong red colour, translucent clarity with surface reaching fissures and pits under loupe check. Calibrè-cut rubies are strong red hue, eye clean and only some stones may have surface abrasions on crown facets. Diamonds are about H to I colours, VS clarity. Diamond Band Ring - In our opinion, the tiny are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: All rings are signed and offered without reserve. Signs of wear to the mounts, otherwise all in very good condition.
