The ruby bracelet measures approximately 7 1/2 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. The chain bracelet measures approximately 6 1/4 inches long. Superficial scratches are consistent with age and light wear.
It is our opinion that the extender chain bracelet is not original to the ruby and diamond bracelet and therefore sticks in the clasp a little bit.

Color: F-G.
Clarity: Mostly VS with a few SI.
