Condition

In good condition. The amethyst cabochons are a transparent medium purple and eye-clean, with some gentle scratching to the surface of the stones, not apparent when worn. The emerald cabochons, which are set in the center and display a nice contrast of color against the heart-shaped amethysts, are medium very slightly bluish green and moderately to heavily included, with some examples of surface-reaching inclusions and abrasions at the facet junctions. The accenting rubies are a bright medium-deep slightly pinkish red and moderately included. Comfortable upon wear. Signed on both earclip backs, length approximately 1 inch.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
