Platinum, Padparadscha Sapphire and Diamond Ring

The oval padparadscha sapphire weighing 4.33 carats, flanked by small round diamonds weighing approximately .35 carat, size 5¾.

Excellent condition with no apparent signs of wear. The sapphire is a lively medium orange and very slightly included; it is much more orange and less red than pictured in the catalogue. Accompanied by GRS report no. GRS2004-080540 stating Natural Orange-Pink Sapphire, 'Natural Padparadscha', of Sri Lankan origin, no indication of thermal treatment. The diamonds are approximately G-H color and VS clarity. Please note that the diamonds cover the band in its entirety, making sizing difficult.
