Accompanied by SSEF report no. 116035 and Gübelin report no. 21030025, each stating that the sapphire is of Ceylon origin, with no indications of heating, the SSEF report stating 'royal blue' colour, together with two appendix letters.

Cf.: Laurence S. Krashes, Harry Winston. The Ultimate Jeweler, New York, 1993, pg. 67 for a drawing of the diamond necklace.

'The described sapphire exhibits an impressive size and weight of 111.739 ct, combined with an attractive saturated blue colour and an excellent purity. Its colour is further pronounced by its well-proportioned cutting style, resulting in vivid blue hues due to multiple internal reflections.'
