Centring on an oval padparascha sapphire weighing 20.29 carats, to a frame set with brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the shoulders, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6¾
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the padparadscha sapphire is natural, with no indications of heating. GRS reports states that the padparadscha sapphire is of Ceylon origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the padparadscha sapphire is of medium light orangy pink colour, slightly included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are some fingerprint inclusions and a few tiny nicks along the girdle, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.90 carat, are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Platinum ring mount, signs of normal wear, otherwise in very good condition.
