Each centring on an oval ruby weighing 3.18 and 2.66 carats respectively, to a two-tiered circular-cut diamond surround together weighing approximately 2.90 carats, mounted in platinum, signed.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin and GRS reports, both the rubies are natural, of Burmese (Mogok, Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating, and GRS report also states that the colour is vivid red (GRS type "pigeon's blood"). Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the rubies are of medium tone and saturated pinkish red colour, very well-matched. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are moderate typical natural inclusions with a few surface reaching, and with minor pits on facet and facet junctions but not visible to the naked eye. The diamonds are mainly about G to H colour (with a few I colour), VVS to VS clarity. Signed. Condition: Platinum mount, overall in mint condition.

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.
