Centring on a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 12.52 carats, flanked on each side by a half-moon diamond together weighing approximately 1.30 carats, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and AGL reports, the sapphire is natural, of Kashmir origin, with no indication of heating and clarity enhancement. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of intense velvety blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there is minor zoning close to the crown and a small fingerprint on pavilion, not seen to naked eyes. Two diamonds are about H to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: Signs of normal wear to the shank, otherwise in very good condition.
