SAPPHIRE RING

The sugar loaf cabochon sapphire weighing 15.63 carats, set on a mount embellished throughout with circular-cut sapphires together weighing approximately 8.85 carats, mounted in 18 karat blackened gold.

Colour and Clarity: According to AGTA report, the sugarloaf sapphire is natural, with no indication of heating. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of medium blue colour with a touch of violet tone, eye clean. Under 10x loupe, there are a few natural fingerprints and fine silky inclusions, which do not affect the overall transparency and brilliance. Small round sapphires in the surround are of medium light to medium blue, eye clean. Eternity ring shank setting, cannot be resized. Condition: Fine ring setting, in mint condition.
