SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING

Centring on an oval sapphire weighing approximately 7.50 carats, encircled by brilliant-cut diamonds to an outer ballerina-setting of tapered baguette diamonds together weighing approximately 3.90 carats, mounted in 18 karat yellow gold.

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sapphire is of intense blue colour, in medium dark tone, very clean to naked eyes. Surrounding diamonds are about H to I colours, mostly VS clarity. One of the round diamonds show a chip to its girdle under 10x loupe, but not seen to naked eyes. Condition: Slight discolouration to a few prongs to the round diamonds under 10x loupe. Normal signs of wear, otherwise in good condition.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.

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.
