Centered by two oval-shaped rubies weighing 2.13 and 1.98 carats, framed by round and marquise-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 1.55 carats.
Condition
In very good condition. The rubies are a bright medium, very slightly purplish red and they range from lightly to moderately included. Under magnification one of the rubies exhibits very minor surface abrasions and a significant fingerprint on the pavilion, neither the abrasions nor the fingerprint are visible when the earclips are worn. The other ruby exhibits a significant chip to the edge of the table and some minute chipping to the girdle, these chips are also not evident when the earclips are worn, nor do they threaten the stability of the stone. The diamonds are approximately F-G color, VS clarity. The length of the earrings is approximately ¾ inch each. Accompanied by two AGL reports: No. CS 59964 stating that the 2.13 carat ruby is of Burmese origin, with indications of heating.
