Natural Gold Appraisal

22k Gold and Natural Ruby Floral Jewelry Suite

This fine jewelry suite consists of a matching necklace and pair of earrings crafted in high-purity 22k yellow gold, featuring natural rubies. The necklace is designed with a sleek omega-link or snake-style chain that leads to a central curved bib-style focal point. This central element features a horizontal arrangement of small rubies in flower-like clusters, with a small pendant drop descending from the center. The matching earrings are designed as jhumka-lite or chandelier-style dangles, each featuring clustered floral motifs with three small ruby-tipped drops at the base for movement. The rubies exhibit a deep, saturated magenta-red hue, typical of natural specimens from Southeast Asia. The 22k gold possesses a rich, buttery yellow color characteristic of high-carat alloys often found in Indian or Middle Eastern craftsmanship. The construction appears to be hand-assembled with prong or bezel settings securing each individual stone. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible missing stones, and the gold retains a high polish with minimal surface abrasions. No distinct maker's marks or hallmarks are visible in the image, but the design suggests a contemporary production (late 20th to 21st century) influenced by traditional South Asian aesthetics. The set is presented in a custom red velvet-lined jewel case, indicating its status as an investment-grade or bridal set.
