    Precious stones
    Eight rubies (lab produced) (also called verneuil ruby). The fact that these stones are lab produced has no influence on the value of this jewel. Natural rubies and lab produced rubies were both used in this era, rather more for their effect than for their intrinsic value.with an estimated weight of ± 0.50ct
    All color stone weights are approximate since stones are not removed from their mounts to preserve the integrity of the setting.
