Ruby and Diamond Ring

Set with a heart-shaped ruby weighing 2.82 carats, to a stylized mount pavé-set with circular-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.25 carats, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6½

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and GRS reports, the ruby is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of thermal treatment. GRS report further states this ruby is from Mogok, Burma, of GRS-type "pigeon's blood" colour. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the ruby is of lively red colour, with a slight touch of purple tint, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are only a few minor natural crystal inclusions and a small surface cavity on pavilion under the prong, not noticeable unless careful loupe check. Diamonds together weighing approximately 1.25 carats, are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum mount, signs of normal wear to the shank, otherwise in very good condition.
