Centering an oval-shaped sapphire weighing 9.62 carats, flanked by two triangle-shaped brilliant-cut diamonds weighing approximately .80 carat, size 6¼, signed Bulgari, the shank inscribed 9.63.

Condition

In good condition, the shank with some very minor scratching due to wear. The sapphire is a rich deep very slightly violetish blue and lightly included. The girdle bears some minor chips and one moderate chip, which may be responsible for the weight discrepancy between the cert and the weight engraved in the shank. The diamonds are approximately G-H color, VS-SI clarity. Accompanied by Gübelin report no. 13110053 stating that the sapphire is of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating.
