More Information
The length of the gem set head is 15mm and the width is 7mm. The diamonds have inclusions but appear white to grey for the most included stone. One of the diamonds has an ugly fissure which can be felt with a finger nail and this is perhaps the greyest diamond. One of the rubies is chipped at the edge. Some of the claws are a little worn and the gold band is thinning to the point of wearing the hallmark.
