Condition

In good condition. The transparent sapphire is eye-clean and displays a light violet-blue hue. There is a minute chip to the girdle as well as a very small amount of abrading. One fine hairline scratch can be seen to the table of the sapphire and can be seen with a 10x loupe, but not with the naked eye. Diamonds are approximately J-K color, VS clarity. Wear to the mounting is visible mostly at the back of the ring shank with moderate abrasion and nicks consistent with age and use. Accompanied by AGL report no. CS 61456 stating that the sapphire is of Ceylon origin, with indications of heating. Accompanied by GIA report no. 5161338857 stating that the sapphire is natural, with indications of heating.
