RUBY AND DIAMOND RING, VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, CIRCA 1960, Van Cleef & Arpels

Centring on an oval ruby weighing 2.65 carats, within a ballerina setting of tapered baguette diamonds together weighing approximately 2.50 carats, mounted in platinum, signed and numbered NY 47865.

Colour and Clarity: According to the AGTA report, the ruby is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the ruby is of saturated red colour with very slight purplish tint. Very nice brilliance and clean to naked eyes, showing only a few included crystals under 10x loupe. Surrounding tapered diamonds are about H to I colours, VS clarity. Signed VCA NY and numbered to the shank. Condition: Minor signs of wear, otherwise in very good condition.
