Description
- Sapphire, Diamond, Gold
Centring on an oval sapphire weighing 13.58 carats, to a circular-cut diamond scrolled surround, gallery and shoulders, mounted in 18 karat white gold. Ring size: 5¾
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the GRS report, the sapphire is natural, of Sri Lankan origin, with no indication of thermal treatment, of blue colour (GRS type "intense cornflower"). Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is medium intense blue colour, eye clean, very good brilliance and lively. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are minor typical crystal, fingerprint and silk inclusions, and a few tiny pits at the girdle but not visible to the naked eye. The diamonds together weighing approximately 1.00 carat, are mainly about G to I colour (with a few K to L and M to N colour), VS to SI clarity.
Condition: Karat white gold ring mount, with a few fine scratches, otherwise in very good overall condition.
