TANZANITE, DIAMOND AND SAPPHIRE RING

Centring on a sugarloaf cabochon tanzanite weighing approximately 40.40 carats, to a stylised mount set with circular-cut diamonds and sapphires together weighing approximately 3.50 and 4.20 carats respectively, mounted in 18 karat white gold. Ring size: 7

Colour and Clarity: In our opinion, the sugarloaf tanzanite is of medium deep, intense blue colour, (very similar to sapphire colour), clean to both naked eyes and loupe check. Other tiny sapphires are of very light to medium deep blue colour, eye clean. Diamonds are about G to I colours, mostly VS clarity. Condition: Karat white gold mount, in very good condition.
