Condition Notes: The center ruby is an exceptional example of esteemed Burmese material, featuring vivid coloration and impressive clarity. Inclusions include a small, hard-to-spot feather near one corner deep within the stone, along with reflective rutile silk, confirming its natural and untreated state. One square accent ruby is believed to be a synthetic replacement furthest down one of the shoulders. Both the center and side rubies show minor abrasions from wear over time, one square ruby shows a non eye visible chip. Considered to be in very good condition given its likely age and quality of the center.
