In our opinion, the rubies are of purplish-red hue with vivid saturation, some very minor naturally occurring inclusions, relatively eye-clean. The yellow diamonds are of fancy intense and fancy vivid colour, of VVS1 to SI1 clarity, the small yellow diamonds of fancy intense colour and SI clarity, as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting.
The mounting displays very minor scratches commensurate with age and wear.
The ring is of very good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.
Overall condition is very good to excellent.
