Each centring on an oval ruby weighing 2.14 and 2.10 carats respectively, surrounded by seven pear- and marquise-shaped diamonds altogether weighing approximately 14.25 carats, bordered by circular-cut diamonds altogether weighing approximately 2.95 carats, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and GRS reports, the two rubies are natural, of Burmese (Mogok) origin, with no indications of heating. Thirteen diamonds in the surround, according to GIA reports, are D to G colours, SI1 to SI2 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the rubies are matching, of intense red colour, eye clean and lively. Upon 10x loupe, one ruby has a surface fissure close to the edge and the other has minor fingerprint on side, but generally both rubies are quite clean with nice crystalline clarity. One non-certified marquise diamond, weighing approximately 0.95 carat, is probably of F to G colours, SI clarity. Condition: Platinum and karat yellow gold mounts, with pendant hook fittings, in mint condition. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that jadeite and rubies of Burmese origin and articles of jewellery containing jadeite or rubies of Burmese origin all less than 100 years old may not be imported into the US. The purchaser's inability to import any item into the U.S. or any other country as a result of these or other restrictions shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale or any delay in payment. Please check with the specialist department if you are uncertain as to whether a lot is subject to these import restrictions, or any other restrictions on importation or exportation.
