Mid-Century 12.5ct Ceylon Sapphire Cocktail Ring

$29,500.00

Description

DATE: Mid-Century, c.1950

Jaw-dropping mid-century cluster ring crafted around a central 12.5 carat natural Ceylon sapphire, certified no heat Sri Lanka origin. The colour is everything a sapphire from this location should be: light intense cornflower blue with hints of violet as the light reflects back off the pavilion facets and with no visible inclusions to the naked eye. It's a native cut, meaning it was cut on location at or very near the mine, cushion shaped and showing off the colour brilliantly. The ring mount features a double halo of icy brilliant cut diamonds, with fine millegrain around the sapphire bezel and outer rim. Scrolled pierced openwork to the gallery allows plenty of light in behind the stones, and it bears French control marks (and maker's mark) indicating 18 karat white gold. Circa 1950.
