Condition
Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rubies on both the necklace and ear clips are similar quality, of medium dark, red colour, slightly to moderately included to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are silks and a few surface-reaching fissures, which are not noticeable to unaided eyes. Emerald drops on necklace are of matching, medium green colour, moderately included to naked eyes. Diamonds are generally of G to H colours, VS to SI1 clarity. Pendant can be detachable and worn as separate brooch. Necklace with extra links can be worn separately as rivière. Earclips with pendant hooks.
Condition: Versatile design, all in very good condition, almost as new.
