PAIR OF RUBY AND DIAMOND PENDENT EARRINGS

Each suspending on an oval ruby altogether weighing 6.62 carats, embellished by marquise- and pear-shaped diamonds, decorated with circular-cut diamonds, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 8.30 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, both rubies are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating, of vivid red "Pigeon's Blood" colour. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the rubies are matching, of medium, strong red colour, very slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are some natural inclusions and a few surface-reaching fissures on one ruby, not seen to naked eyes. Colourless diamonds are about E to F colours, VVS to VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, in very good condition.
