Description
- Rubelite, Spinel, Diamond, Gold
Of oriental design, set with a line of graduated oval rubellites together weighing approximately 45.50 carats, each to the circular-cut spinel gallery extended to suspend a circular-cut spinel and diamond swag, the spinels and diamonds together weighing approximately 6.70 and 9.20 carats, mounted in 18 karat pink and white gold.
Condition
Please note that the mounting should be in 18 karat pink and white gold instead of 18 karat yellow gold as stated in the catalogue.
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rubellites are of medium intense purplish pink colour, with very good brilliance, lively and eye clean. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are minor to moderate typical inclusions with a few surface reaching, with minor pits and hairline scratches, but all are not visible to the naked eye. The spinels are of light to medium tone, light orangy pink to intense orangy red colour, some with minor typical inclusions, some are visibly clean under the 10x loupe inspection. The diamonds are about F to H colour, VS to SI clarity. Can be worn as a pendant.
Condition: Karat pink and white gold, overall in mint condition.
