Centring on an oval padparadscha sapphire weighing 4.74 carats, flanked on each side by a half moon-shaped diamond, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6¼

Colour and Clarity: According to both Gübelin and GRS reports, the padparadscha sapphire is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the padparadscha sapphire is of intense orangy pink colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are only a few minor fingerprints, not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds together weighing approximately 0.80 carat, are about E to F colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum ring mount, in very good condition.
