Yellow sapphire, ruby and diamond ring

The octagonal step-cut yellow sapphire weighing 25.29 carats, framed by modified shield-shaped rubies and trapeze-cut and round diamonds, mounted in gold and platinum, size 5¾.

Very good condition. The medium golden yellow sapphire is a bit deeper and warmer in color than suggested by the catalogue illustration; eye-clean. The 2 modified shield-shaped medium red, eye-clean rubies bear abrading to the facet junctions. The 20 round and 2 trapezoid-cut diamonds together weigh approximately .50 carat and are approximately H-I color, VS clarity. See AGTA report # 12017109 stating the sapphire to be natural, no heat.
