Description
- SAPPHIRE, DIAMOND, PLATINUM
Set with a cushion-shaped sapphire weighing 34.17 carats, the basket pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds extending to the shoulders together weighing approximately 1.40 carats, mounted in platinum.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to SSEF and AGTA reports, the sapphire is natural, of Burmese origin, with no indications of heating. Please refer to the reports for details. In our opinion, the sapphire is of strong velvety blue colour, eye clean. Upon 10x loupe, there are some minor crystals and fingerprints, not seen to naked eyes. The microscopic silky inclusions, which do not affect the brilliance and transparency, give a velvety feature to the sapphire. Diamonds are about F to G colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Very fine and delicate platinum ring mount, in mint condition.
