The twenty one rubies are oval faceted, graduating downwards in size from the center. The largest (center) stone measures 4.5mm (L) x 4mm (W) x 3.2mm (D) for a total estimated carat weight of 0.46CT. The smallest rubies (on the ends) measure 1.6mm (L) x 1.5mm (W) x approx. 1.1mm (D) for a total estimated carat weight of 0.02CT.

The color of the rubies is a luscious deep pink. They are natural (earth mined) stones. All diamonds and rubies have been verified as genuine using a presidium gem tester. On the reverse a safety clasp. The hinge and pin are in working order, but the clasp is missing the closing dial.
While the clasp does loosely hold shut, this minor repair is recommended. The back of brooch is hallmarked for 15CT gold. It is in overall excellent condition (with exception of the damaged clasp). All stones are present and in excellent condition.
