About this Item
Diamond, verneuil synthetic ruby and 18ct yellow gold ring
collet-set to the centre with a rectangular-cut verneuil synthetic ruby weighing approximately 1.04 carat surrounded by a row of claw-set round brilliant-cut diamonds weighing approximately 0.33 carat, size P
Notes
Synthetic corundum has distinguishing characteristics. The Verneuil process always produces curved growth lines, which are visible under magnification and with the correct illumination. No natural mineral ever displays such curved lines, called striae, and their presence is a guarantee of synthetic origin.
