SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING

Set with a sugar loaf cabochon sapphire weighing 58.72 carats, supported by a frame pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the split shank, the diamonds together weighing approximately 1.00 carat, mounted in 18 karat white gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to AGTA report, the sapphire is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire, against the open-back setting, is of medium blue colour, clean to naked eyes. Under 10x loupe, there are about two to three transparent fingerprints, which do not affect overall brilliance of the sapphire. Diamonds in the surround are probably of G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Fine workmanship and simple design, in mint 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.

Accompanied by AGTA report numbered 95016011, dated 22 May 2008, stating that the 58.72 carat sapphire is natural, of Burmese (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating.
