SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING

Centring on a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 23.90 carats, to a stylised mount set with marquise-shaped and brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing approximately 1.00 carats, mounted in platinum.

Colour and Clarity: According to GRS report, the sapphire is natural, of Ceylon, with no indication of thermal treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of meduim, intense blue colour, very clean to naked eyes and lively. Upon 10x loupe, there are only a few minor fingerprints and silk inclusions close to corner, and minor abrasions on crown facets, generally not noticeable. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS clarity. Condition: Platinum ring mount, signs of normal wear, in very good 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.
