AN EXTRAORDINARY SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND PENDANT

超凡至尊 118.88卡拉 天然「緬甸皇家藍」未經加熱藍寶石 配 鑽石 掛墜


Set with a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 118.88 carats, within a surround of pear-shaped diamonds weighing 16.06 carats in total.


Accompanied by SSEF report no. 73209, dated 11 March 2014 and Gübelin report no. 14038086, dated 29 March 2014, both stating that the sapphire is of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating, this colour variety may also be called "royal blue" in the trade.  Also accompanied by SSEF Premium appendix letter stating that "the sapphire exhibits an highly impressive size..., combined with a very attractive and well-saturated blue colour, poetically referred to as 'royal blue', and an excellent purity... A natural sapphire from Burma of this size and quality is extremely rare and thus can be considered a true treasure of nature". 


Further accompanied by Gübelin appendix letter stating that "the 118.88 ct natural sapphire...displays a homogeneous and richly saturated royal blue colour, which typifies the finest of these gems... In addition, this remarkable gemstone has been spared thermal treatment. Such a combination of characteristics is very rare in Burmese sapphires of this size."


Also accompanied by fourteen GIA reports stating that the diamonds ranging from 1.19 to 1.01 carats are D to F Colour, VVS1 to VS2 Clarity; further accompanied by a GIA dossier stating that the 1.17 carat diamond is F Colour, VVS2 Clarity.
