This fantastic rare set features detailed hand worked decorations in the gold around fine old cut rubies, natural pearls and even tassels dropping from the brooch. You have to admire the pinkish red rubies worked up on tall prongs as well as fine etching through the gold and delicate enamel inlay to finish this finely designed set. As you can see, this set comes with a special made box. We believe that there were two other pieces in the set which were lost over the years, but at least the bangle and brooch are in good condition with light wear on the gold and a little enamel missing. The rubies in this set are old mine cut weighing approximately 1.75 carats total; these rubies are pinkish red with natural inclusions. The pearls are natural untreated, some are cut in half in order to serve the purpose of the design and they are accented with black enamel around the frame of the pieces. This set was hand made in 18K yellow gold plus it weighs 46.6 grams total. This bangle measures 1.77 inches (45mm) wide and it should fit a 6.25 inch wrist.
