Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rubies are strong to deep red colour, eye clean to slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are general surface abrasions to the rubies, not noticeable to naked eyes. Rose-cut diamonds are about I to J colours, mostly VS clarity. Single-cut diamonds are about J to K colours, VS clarity. Both are signed Federico Buccellati.
Condition: There is slightly discolouration to the metal, mainly on the back and not seen to the obverse. Signs of normal wear, overall in good condition.
