Description
- sapphire, diamond, platinum
Each set with an oval sapphire weighing 44.11 and 40.11 carats respectively, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds, surmounted by an oval diamond framed by brilliant-cut diamonds, the diamonds altogether weighing approximately 6.80 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and SSEF reports, two oval sapphires are natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphires are of matching, intense blue colour. Very rare to have matching pair of untreated sapphires of this size and quality. Upon 10x loupe, one sapphire has fine silks and feather inclusion, not seen to naked eyes; the other sapphire shows white silks within the table, not noticeable when worn. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Platinum mounts, in very good condition.
