Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, all rubellites are of matching deep, saturated purplish red colour, eye clean. Under 10x loupe, the rubellites generally show minor natural inclusions and a few surface chips along facet junctions and girdle. Overall, these clarity features are not noticeable to unaided eyes and do not affect the brilliance of the gemstones. The diamonds are probably of G to H colours, VS to SI clarity. Condition: The chain is of 14 karat white gold, slightly distorted but of acceptable quality. Minor signs of wear and scratches to the mounts, otherwise in good condition.
