Each set with two oval rubies weighing 5.06, 4.03, 2.00 and 2.00 respectively, to cluster surround set with pear- and marquise-shaped diamonds altogether weighing approximately 19.85 carats, mounted in platinum and 18 karat yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to both SSEF and GIA reports, the rubies are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Separate GIA letter states that these rubies "are a wonderful example of the classic Pigeon's Blood color which is the ultimate descriptor for these exquisite gems". Please refer to these reports and letter for details. In our opinion, the rubies are of strong red colour, eye clean. Sugarloaf rubies, upon 10x loupe, there are natural feather and silk inclusions, and some stones have surface reaching fissures, but not seen to naked eyes. Other marquise rubies are quite clean and only a few stones have some minor inclusions. Diamonds are about D to F colours, VVS to VS clarity. Condition: Impressive suite of ruby jewellery with very fine workmanship, well articulated links, platinum and karat white gold mounts, in excellent condition.
