Description

  • platinum, ruby, diamond, earrings
The pear-shaped rubies weighing 4.01 and 3.51 carats, further set with tapered baguette and French-cut diamonds weighing approximately 2.20 carats.

Condition

Very good condition with gentle wear to the mountings. The slightly purplish medium-deep red rubies are richly saturated (a shade deeper and richer than indicated by the printed catalogue illustration). One ruby is lightly included, the other is moderately included with surface-reaching inclusions on the bezel facets. Please refer to GIA report no. 2115610274 stating that the rubies are of Burmese origin, no indications of heating. The 2 tapered baguette and 4 french-cut diamonds are approximately H-J color, VS clarity.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
