Centring on an oval ruby weighing 7.03 carats, flanked by two half moon-shaped diamonds, to an outer frame set with brilliant-cut diamonds, the diamonds together weighing approximately 2.45 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold. Ring size: 6

Colour and Clarity: According to both the Gübelin and GRS reports, the ruby is natural, of Burma (Mogok) origin, with no indications of heating, of vivid red colour which may also be called "Pigeon's Blood" red in the trade. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the ruby is of saturated intense red colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, the ruby is quite clean with some small feathers on side or pavilion, not seen to naked eyes. Two half-moon diamonds are about E to F colours, VS clarity. Other brilliant-cut diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, in mint condition.
