Description
- sapphire, diamond, platinum
Centring on a sugar loaf cabochon sapphire weighing 7.63 carats, to a stylised shank bezel-set with brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.90 carats, mounted in platinum, signed and numbered 69341A.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to GRS and a French gem report, the cabochon sapphire is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indication of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium, intense blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are fingerprints, which one is probably surface-reaching, and crystal inclusions, very common to natural gem stone. Diamonds on the shank are about E to F colours, VS clarity. Signed and numbered to the shank.
Condition: Eternity ring shank setting, cannot be re-sized and currently is American size 6, overall in very good condition.
