Ed,

Thank you for the detailed explanation. So, effectively, the ribbon would be the main determinant of class, whereas stones would be that of grade, right?

Yes, essentially. There are no matches in design and, in any case, the reverse legend is the real giveaway (if you can read it).

And here's a pair in the historical museum in Ulaanbaatar.

Actually, here's a useful (?) image (of the ones that were for sale) showing the three classes.
