Centring on a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 5.96 carats, flanked to each side by a half-moon-shaped diamond together weighing approximately 1.00 carat, to the circular-cut diamond gallery and shoulders, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 5¾

Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin, SSEF and GRS reports, the sapphire is natural, of Kashmir origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium blue colour, with minor colour zoning and windowing when face-up but less noticeable when worn. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are minor fingerprint and crystal inclusions with a few surface reaching, some crystals close to the girdle are surface reaching to the openings at the facets but are not noticeable unless close-up inspection. The half-moon-shaped and circular-cut diamonds are about H to I colour, VS clarity. Two circular-cut pink diamonds on the gallery together weighing approximately 0.10 carat, are light pink colour, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum ring mount, overall in mint condition.
