<p>[QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 3164616, member: 10012"]Looks like it is hand done as to the gravings. I feel that it was done by a jeweler (or a talented would be) as a one of a kind (?). Also, I see possible internal flaws in the first photo or is it just dirty? Flaws would indicate a natural stone. In photo no. 3 the stone looks very much like a ruby? The stone could be easily removed and replaced. It could have been made anywhere as karat punches are not that hard to obtain. I agree that the mark is 15 but that does not definitely prove that it was made in the U.K. If it is a natural ruby, you might want to save the removed pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>also[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
