SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING

Set with a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 8.10 carats, flanked on each side with a shield-shaped diamond, mounted in platinum.

Colour and Clarity: According to GIA report, the sapphire is natural, with no indications of heating. Please refer to report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium to medium dark, slightly steely blue colour, very clean to both naked eyes and loupe check. Under 10x loupe, there are only some tiny nicks along facet junctions and are not seen to naked eyes. Two side diamonds are probably of H colour, VS2 to SI1 clarity with small dark crystal inclusions. Condition: Classic claw-setting, in very good condition, almost as new.
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.

Ring size: 5¾

Accompanied by GIA report numbered 17428170, dated 17 June 2008, stating that the 8.10 carat sapphire is natural, with no indications of heating.
