Description
Set with a cushion-shaped pink sapphire weighing 7.01 carats, flanked on each side with a radiant-cut diamond weighing 1.18 and 1.04 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: All three stones are certified. According to GRS report, the pink sapphire is natural, with no indication of thermal treatment. GIA reports state that two diamonds on the side are both of H colour, VS1 clarity. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the pink sapphire is of medium, very strong purple pink colour, extremely clean to naked eyes, with very good brilliance. Under 10x loupe, there is only a minute natural inclusions to the side on pavilion and is not noticeable to loupe check. Pleasing cushion outline and nice cutting proportion. Two side diamonds have nice brilliance and good size which well complement with the principle stone.
Condition: Classic claw-set ring mount, in mint condition.
