Lot 28
Of cluster design, centring a claw-set circular-cut ruby, framed by a halo of old European-cut diamonds, the diamonds together weighing approximately 0.30 carats, mounted in 18ct gold, size J, gross weight approximately 3 grams, Chester hallmarks, 1896.
Estimate $220 - $300
In our opinion the ruby is slightly pinkish red, medium saturation, with typical inclusions. Some nicks, chips, abrasions and scratches to the facets and facet junctions. The diamonds are bright and lively, probably of I to K colour and SI to pique clarity, as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting. The mounting displays scratches commensurate with age and wear. Can be polished easily. Some claws may require attention.
The ring is of good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Overall condition is good.
