Ruby and Diamond Bangle

Of three-dimensional crisscross design, the hinged band delicately set with variously-shaped rubies and diamonds, together weighing approximately 23.54 and 35.90 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white gold, inner circumference approximately 140mm.

Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS report, all the rubies are natural, of Mozambican origin, with no indication of thermal treatment, and vivid red colour (GRS type "pigeon's blood"). Please refer to the report and appendix for details. In our opinion, the rubies are of medium tone saturated orangy red to red colour, well-matched, very good brilliance and lively. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are minor typical inclusions with some surface reaching, with minor pits and chips and some rubies have abrasions on the facet junctions, but all are not noticeable to the naked eye.The diamonds are mainly about H to I colour (with some J colour), VS to SI1 clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, overall in mint condition.
