Description

  • diamond, ruby, enamel, gold
Each of circular-form, highlighted by numerous pear-shaped rose-cut diamonds, amid a calibré-cut ruby-set background, the reverse embellished with red, green and white enamel floral motifs, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold.

Condition

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the rubies are probably very thin cut, of strong red colour, moderately included with minor surface pits and fissures upon 10x check, but not noticeable in normal visual distance. Diamonds, set with foiled back, are tinted colour SI clarity. Condition: Enamel on the back is in good condition. Karat gold mount, unusual piece of Indian jewellery, signs of wear and surface abrasions to the metal, overall in good condition.
