Each suspending on a cushion-shaped ruby weighing 7.05 and 6.59 carats respectively, surmounted by two natural pearls measuring approximately 9.20 x 7.90 x 7.10mm to 4.60 x 5.10mm, spaced by facetted diamond beads, embellished by circular-cut diamonds and rubies, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to GRS reports, both rubies are natural, of Burmese (Mogok) origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the rubies are matching, of strong pinkish red colour, eye clean and lively. Upon 10x loupe, both rubies are quite clean, with only some silks or minor feather at corner, not seen to naked eyes. Two pearls on the surmount are of semi-baroque shape, medium light and dark grey respectively, with rosè overtone. Diamond rondels are about H to I colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: Karat blackened gold mount, in very good condition.
