RUBY AND DIAMOND RING, Tiffany & Co.

Centring on a cushion-shaped ruby weighing 5.39 carats, to a stylised shank set with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold, signed.

Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the ruby is natural, with no indication of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the ruby is of strong, raspberry red colour, very clean to naked eyes and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are only a few minor crystal and fingerprint inclusions, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Signed to the shank. Condition: Signs of minor wear to the shank, otherwise in very good condition.
