A simply stunning estate ring, possible 30-40 years old, featuring a wonderful Unheated Padparadscha Sapphire from the sun kissed isle of Sri Lanka weighing 1.81ct. The Padparadscha Sapphire is simply gorgeous - a light pastel pinkish peach, with arguably pink the dominant hue in sunlight and peach under incandescent lighting - a delightful hue which shows extreme fire and vibrancy. This is unquestionably, together with pigeon’s blood red, one of the most sought after gem colours in the entire world. The stone is eye clean and is virtually but not quite loupe clean as well - superb clarity for the gem genre. Lustre and brilliancy are excellent - the stone is positively 'alive' and is extremely vibrant and lively despite the window in the gem. The diamonds total 0.65ct and are clean and white. The ring comes complete with certification from a respected Bangkok laboratory confirming no heat and padparadscha sapphire. We will consider a very near offer only, as this gem already represents exceptional value. Needless to say the gemstone makes a stunning statement when worn and is absolutely certain to appreciate in value as time goes by.
