More Information

Each ruby measures approximately 3mm
Well matched mid pinkish red. All are very included. Well polished stones which are bright despite inclusions. Two rubies on the same baton have cracks and abrasions to the surface. On the same cufflink but on the other baton there are signs of repair to the edge as it is not as round or smooth as the to the others.
one baton on the other cufflink is slightly askew and the rub over settings have also possible had repair. A small gap is evident between the edge of the ruby and the mount.
