PINK SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING

Centring on an oval pink sapphire weighing 12.77 carats, encircled by pear-shaped diamonds together weighing approximately 3.50 carats, mounted in platinum, ring guard fitting.

Colour and Clarity: According to the Gübelin report, the pink sapphire is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the pink sapphire is of medium, purple-pink colour, eye clean. Under 10x loupe, there are some fine silks close to the crown and a few tiny colourless crystals close to pavilion on side. Diamonds are probably of H to I colours, VS clarity. Condition: Elegant, classic ring mount, in very good condition, almost as new.
