Platinum, Ruby and Diamond Ring, Bulgari

The cushion-shaped ruby weighing approximately 2.50 carats, flanked by baguette rubies, all framed by round diamonds weighing approximately 3.55 carats, size 6¼, signed Bulgari.

Good condition with gentle surface wear to the shank. The medium-deep purplish red ruby is moderately included with a cavity measuring slightly under 1 millimeter on the girdle, minute abrasions elsewhere on the girdle, and two very minor inclusions reaching the table. The interior inclusions run under the table, but overall impression of the stone is "gemmy." The baguette rubies are of comparable color and quality. The 60 round diamonds are approximately G-H color, VVS-VS clarity; one chipped but seen only under magnification. Signed on the shank interior, underneath the ruby.
