Description

  • pink sapphire, diamond, gold
Centring on a cushion-shaped pink sapphire weighing 10.60 carats, surrounded by pear-shaped diamonds, the shank pavé-set with circular-cut diamonds, the diamonds together weighing approximately 2.00 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold. Ring size: 5

Condition

Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the pink sapphire is natural, of Mozambique origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Another gem report states that this pink sapphire is from Ceylon, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the pink sapphire is of medium intense purplish pink colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are fingerprints, silks and a few needle inclusions, very common to natural stones and not noticeable to naked eyes. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Ring size cannot be re-sized (currently is American size 5), overall in very good condition.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE.
