Condition Report*: Colored Gems:
Type(s): Ruby
Shape(s): Round
Count: 1 - 25
Avg Quality: Good

Metals:
Gold

Overall Condition: Good
Condition Notes: Inspired by classical Greek aesthetics, this 22K yellow gold suite includes a necklace and matching earrings accented with rubies. The design features symbolic motifs such as bull heads, acorns, and floral elements, all rendered in finely detailed, high-karat gold. In Greek mythology, bulls symbolize strength and fertility, while acorns represent immortality and transformation.
The necklace, though unmarked, tests as 22K gold and secures with a traditional shepherd’s hook clasp, a reflection of the metal’s inherent malleability. The earrings, stamped "22K," are fitted with posts and omega clip backs for pierced ears.
Condition is good overall, with minor wear, some stone chipping, and slight discoloration to the necklace. The reverse of the earrings shows more pronounced surface wear, consistent with regular use.
