NOTE: * The Gemmological Certification Services (GCS) lab has verbally (report number 5785-3871) accredited the rubies originating in Mozambique and verifies that a random test of the gemstones show indications of heating with minor to moderate residue in healed fissures. Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone in these gold, ruby and diamond earrings.
