Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the star sapphire is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the star sapphire is of intense blue colour, with a fine and centred asterism. Upon 10x loupe and illumination, there are natural silk inclusions and small fingerprint, which are not seen to naked eyes. Diamonds in the surround are about G to H colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Signs of normal wear, otherwise in very good condition.
