Colour and Clarity: According to GRS reports, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indication of treatments. The star ruby is also natural, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the cat's-eye chrysoberyl is of slightly deep, olive green colour, with a fine chatoyancy upon spot lighting. Upon loupe check, there are fingerprint inclusions, not noticeable to naked eyes. The star ruby is of medium, purplish red colour, with a fair asterism upon spot lighting. Translucent clarity with feathers and surface reaching pits and fissures. Diamonds are about G to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: These two rings are offered without reserve. Platinum ring mounts, signs of normal wear, overall in good condition.
