Description
- sapphire, diamond and platinum
Centring on an oval sapphire weighing 15.06 carats, flanked on each side by a half moon-shaped diamond together weighing approximately 3.00 carats, mounted in platinum, signed.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and AGL reports, the sapphire is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of heating and clarity enhancement. Wtih appendix states that this sapphire possesses a richly saturated and homogeneous colour, combined with a high degree of transparency, and a finely proportioned cut. Please refer to the reports and appendix for details. In our opinion, the sapphire shows a very nice, saturated, strong blue colour, with great brilliance, clean to both naked eyes and loupe check. Two half-moon diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity. Signed to the shank.
Condition: Classic platinum ring mount, in very good condition.
