Upon illumination, there are cloud inclusions and few dark spots, not noticeable in normal lighting. Two cabochon rubies together weighing approximately 2.00 carats. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.30 carats, are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mounts, back cover can be opened to reveal the thickness and translucency of the pendent earrings, overall in very good condition.
