  • platinum, sapphire, diamong
Centering a cabochon sapphire weighing 12.66 carats, flanked by two bullet-shaped diamonds weighing approximately 1.30 carats, size 5¾, signed Piranesi.

Condition

In very good condition. A few very light abrasions to the back of the ring shank are visible and would be consistent with wear. The semi-transparent sapphire is moderately included, with some of those inclusions surface-reaching. Sapphire displays a medium, slightly violetish blue hue. Diamonds are approximately J-K color, VS clarity.

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.
