Description

  • gold, platinum, sapphire, diamond, ring
The cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 6.61 carats, flanked by old mine diamonds weighing approximately 4.50 carats, and smaller old mine diamonds, size 5.

Condition

Good condition with gentle surface wear to the mounting. The shoulders and gallery enhanced with scroll motifs. The sapphire is a richly saturated deep blue color. Abrading to the crown's facet junctions and numerous minor chips and abrasions to the girdle (one chip is visible without magnification). The body of the stone is eye-clean with the "velvety" texture typical of Kashmir material. The two large old mine-cut diamonds are approximately H-J color, VS-SI clarity. The 3 smaller old mine- and 1 rose-cut diamonds are approximately near colorless and decorative in quality.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
