Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the sapphire is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indication of thermal treatment, of vivid blue colour (GRS type "royal blue"). Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire has nice strong blue colour, with lively brilliance and eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are a few minor silk inclusions, not visible to naked eyes. Other small sapphires are deep strong blue colour, eye clean.
Condition: Platinum and karat gold vintage ring mount shows scratches and abrasions to the metal, otherwise in good condition.
