Description
- Sapphire, Diamond, Platinum
Set with a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 5.02 carats, flanked on each side by a bullet-shape diamond, mounted in platinum. Ring size:5¾
Condition
Please note that the mount signed by Tiffany & Co.
Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin and AGL reports, the sapphire is natural, of Kashmir origin, with no indications of heating, and AGL report further states that the clarity enhancement is none. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium-strong saturated blue colour, with slight velvety face-up appearance and very lively. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are minor fingerprint and silk inclusions and occasional tiny pits at facet junctions, but all are not noticeable to the naked eye. The bullet-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 0.30 carat, are about F to G colour, VS clarity. The mount is signed, and with indistinct French assay mark for platinum.
Condition: Platinum ring mount, shows signs of minor wear, otherwise in very good overall condition.
