SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING

Centring on a sugar loaf cabochon sapphire weighing approximately 10.40 carats, to a stylised mount embellished by circular-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum. Ring size: 6¼

Colour and Clarity: According to Gübelin and AGL reports, the sugarloaf sapphire is natural, of Kashmir origin, with no indications of heating and treatment. 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 some surface pits and colour zoning from side view, not noticeable to naked eyes. Condition: Vintage platinum ring mount, signs of wear and surface abrasions to the metal, otherwise in good condition.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
