Centered by a ruby bead measuring approximately 14.0 by 6.3 mm, accented by oval, round and baguette diamonds weighing approximately 4.65 carats, size 6, unsigned. With box signed Bulgari.

In good condition. The medium-dark red ruby is semi-transparent and moderately included, it exhibits some fractures due to surface reaching inclusions and some natural divots due to its tumbled shape. The diamonds are approximately F-H color, VS clarity. The shank is out-of-round and scratched from wear. This is not apparent when the ring is worn.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.

According to family tradition, the ring offered here was purchased at Bulgari but has lost its signature due to wear and resizing. For rings with similar mountings by Bulgari, please see Bulgari by Amanda Triossi and Daniela Mascetti, page 186.
