CEYLON SAPPHIRE AND OLD EUROPEAN CUT CLUSTER RING

Set to the centre with an oval-shaped mixed-cut natural sapphire claw-set on a horizontal orientation, with a weight of 2.77 carats, surrounded by ten similarly set old European-cut diamonds, with a combined approximate weight of 1.50 carats, to a polished hoop, tested as 18 karat gold, ring size L (sizeable).

Accompanied by a report from Gem Tech numbered 458390 and dated 02/08/2024, which states that the sapphire is of Ceylon origin with no indications of heat treatment.

The diamonds have been assessed by our in-house gemmologists as approximately H/I colour, VS/SI clarity.

Why we are obsessed:

The horizontal orientation of the sapphire creates a modern/architectural look, giving the illusion of greater width which flatters the wearer. The term silk refers to typical inclusions found in corundum, these intersecting needle-like crystals of rutile (titanium dioxide) seen under the loop scatter light internally, giving a "velvety" look rather than a sharp, glassy sparkle and are commensurate with non-heat- treated sapphire.
