Two old-European cut diamonds in the surmount weigh approximately 0.95 carat each, are about L to M colours, SI clarity. Other smaller round diamonds are about I to K colours, VS clarity. Tiny rubies on border are strong red colour, eye clean. Signed to the ear clips. Condition: Karat yellow gold mounts, in mint condition.
