Description
Dating from the 1900s, this Edwardian navette-form diamond ring of platinum-topped gold (with later shank) is set with a cushion-shape sapphire weighing 2.95 carats accompanied by an American Gemological Laboratories report stating that the gem is "Classic Ceylon (Sri Lanka)", without evidence of heat treatment. A graceful form centering a velvety blue sapphire of beautiful antique cut and superior clarity, this refined ring sits low to the finger and showcases a rare and exquisite gem.

Documentation: Accompanied by AGL report no. 1144449 dated 12 December 2024 stating that the natural sapphire is "Classic Ceylon (Sri Lanka)", with no evidence of heat or clarity enhancement, and letter from AGL President Chris Smith explaining the rarity of this origin and color determination.
