Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, the star sapphire is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the star sapphire is of medium blue colour, showing a fine six-ray star under spot illumination, pleasing outline and dome thickness. Translucent clarity, under 10x loupe, there are tiny needle inclusions and fingerprints close to an end. Diamonds in the surround are probably of F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Classic ring mount, in mint condition.
