as if it were part of a tendril whose ramifications become the claws that hold the stones

Rubino taglio ovale cabochon, 8,70 ct halo "Linden Buds with Hidden Gem"The gem appears included when observed with a 10x lens: clearly visible evidence of lead glass filling treatment. The pleasant purple pink color adequately compensates for the quality of the original rough. Pleasant translucency effect; at the base of the cabochon the natural inclusions called "silk" are visible, which follow the growth planes of the crystal. Not perfect proportions.
