Bidding ended. Lot is unsold.

The ring is in good condition with no significant damages evident. There is evidence of resizing and it appears that the head of the ring has been rhodium plated at some point as it has over spilled slightly onto the shoulders. 

The rubies appear to be securely set, they display some minimal abrasion to certain facets but there is no evidence of significant chipping/nibbling. Two could be considered Pigeon Blood in colour. The third has a more pink undertone. The diamonds are well matched in colour and size, they face up quite white but display some minor inclusions in certain stones. There is no evidence of significant chipping/nibbling to the facets but they do display some minor wear to certain areas of the girdles. The stone appear to be securely set, though some claws would benefit from attention.
