At its centre sits a magnificent octagonal-cut sapphire weighing 6.6 carats, framed by a octagonal cluster of old European–cut diamonds totalling approximately 1 carat. The proportions are beautifully judged, with the crisp geometry of the sapphire softened by the gentle sparkle of antique diamonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"524\" data-end=\"943\"\u003eThe sapphire is of Sri Lankan (Ceylon) origin and displays natural inclusions. These are not flaws, but hallmarks of an unheated, natural stone, and a reassuring indication that the colour has not been artificially enhanced. The hue is simply wonderful: a rich, saturated blue with life and depth, the kind of colour collectors search for and rarely find especially at this carat weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"1256\"\u003eThe platinum mount is finely made, with the most wonderful diamond shaped openwork beneath the setting allowing light to move through the stones, a technique characteristic of high-quality rings from this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1446\"\u003eThis ring is accompanied by Certificate no. 79232-39 (dated 06.09.2019), which confirms the sapphire’s 6.6 carat weight, Ceylon origin, and no indication of heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1446\"\u003eIt would make the most incredible engagement ring or an impressive cocktail ring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56711207321973,"sku":"127M","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/early-20th-century-platinum-66-carats-ceylon-sapphire-and-diamond-cluster-ring-8636849.jpg?v=1770663625","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/it\/products\/early-20th-century-platinum-6-6-carats-ceylon-sapphire-and-diamond-cluster-ring","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
