SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING

Centring on a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing approximately 20.00 carats, within a diamond-set surround, flank on each side with a pear-shaped diamond, the diamonds together weighing approximately 3.00 carats, mounted in platinum.

Colour and clarity: In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium dark blue colour, very clean to both naked eyes and under 10x loupe, nice face-up outline. Pear-shaped diamonds are about F to G colours, VS2 to SI1 clarity. Round diamonds are probably F colour, VS clarity. Condition: Minor signs of wear to the mount, otherwise in good condition.

Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
