Centring on a cushion-shaped ruby weighing 4.06 carats, framed by circular-cut yellow diamonds, to a stylised mount designed as two butterflies, set with brilliant-cut, pear- and marquise-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 3.60 carats, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and GIA report, the cushion ruby is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating.

In our opinion, the ruby is of strong red colour. Upon 10x loupe, there are silks and natural inclusions in the stones, very common in natural rubies.
