Description
Centring on a rectangular cushion-shaped pink sapphire weighing 4.99 carats, surrounded by brilliant-cut diamonds and rose-cut diamonds, supported by a brilliant-cut diamond-set basket extending to the shank, the diamonds together weighing approximately 1.10 carats, mounted in 18 karat white gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the pink sapphire is natural, of Sri Lankan origin, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the pink sapphire shows a medium strong, purplish pink colour, clean to naked eyes, sweet and lively stone. Under 10x loupe, there is only a fingerprint cutting from girdle into the table, otherwise very clean. Diamonds in the surround are probably of G colour, VS clarity.
Condition: Fine and delicate ring mount, in mint condition.
