    Bought on ebay as part of a small lot, not much age to it. I thought they might be rubies from the photos but in person they're deep pink so now I'm not sure...the mark on the bail looks like CJ 925 IMG_20210726_134523.jpg IMG_20210726_134530.jpg IMG_20210726_134613.jpg IMG_20210726_134557.jpg IMG_20210726_134720.jpg

    They look like rubies to me. Not top quality stones, but who cares, it looks pretty.

    'Too pink' is also one of the ruby colours.;)

    I'd agree, little ruby chips.

    May be rubies but the only way to be sure is to have them tested :)

    Think lab grown rubies glow under UV. That's what these could be.

    I would expect 10K or 12K gold if they were genuine rubies. Sterling silver would normally house lab grown, IMO, but Hey, I have been wrong before.

    At today's prices the stone would cost $5+each,30 years ago they were around $1 each. We don't know when this piece was made....
