Description
- padparadscha sapphire, diamond, gold
The ring modelled as a flower, centring on a cushion-shaped padparadscha sapphire weighing 14.76 carats, amid petals set with brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 3.50 carats, mounted in 18 karat white and yellow gold.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin report, the padparadscha sapphire is natural, of Ceylon origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, padparadscha is of medium intense, pinkish orange colour, moderately included to naked eyes. Upon 10x loupe, there are included crystals and fingerprint inclusions, common to natural padparadscha. Diamonds on the petals are about G to I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Karat white and yellow gold ring mount, in mint condition.
