Carved Genuine Ruby leaves both sides are carved 11x16 mm and 7x11 mm approx 2 mm thick 5.14 cts (tcw) there is a tiny imperfection that should not hinder setting.It is around the edge of the large leaf near the bottom right see picture of the back of the leaves

OK short lesson in Cassia Rufa shell there are male (the ones that are used for cameos as the color is amazing) and females which has white shell with the color in the layers. Now when I started carving I found shells and I was sworn to up and down that they were male shells....as you can see here this cameo is from female shell lol I wanted to practice with my gravers and decided that a tropical fish was sitting there. I cut the shell with my jewelers saw by hand then I used my ONE count it One graver to carve lol So if you like this baby fishie about 30mm across and from top to bottom as you can see it will take a lot of imagination to set this one. The shell is fairly thick and so is the carving. and yeah I roughly signed the back it is one of my first cameos So are you an expert wire wrapper? Or a jeweler who can see a fabulous design?
