Est. $325,000-$350,000 4.97ct Kashmir No Heat Sapphire W/SSEF & Gubelin Certification, 1.50ctw VS1-VS2/F-G Diamond & Solid Platinum Ring (Comes W/$325,000 Appraisal) - This magnificent ring boasts a stunning 4.97ct genuine Kashmir sapphire which has been certified by both SSEF and Gubelin, who are the world leaders and most prestigious in colored gemstone grading. The sapphire is an elegant and timeless cushion cut, and displays a transparent blue of medium strong saturation with "no indications of heating" according to both reports. Kashmir Sapphires are the most famous sapphires in the world, and are almost never seen, except in museums or photographs. They are so highly valued and sought after due to their superb cornflower blue color and a sleepy quality that is often described as "blue velvet". These incredible gemstones almost never become available in the open market. You simply cannot find these stones due to their rarity and high demand. The sapphire is set in a 4-prong solid 18k white gold setting, which is embellished with approximately 1.50ctw genuine VS1-VS2/F-G baguette cut diamonds in a 3-tiered setting on the shoulders. This ring will come with the SSEF and Gubelin reports for the sapphire, along with a $325,000 insurance valuation report in the winning bidder's name by a graduate appraiser. The Kashmir measures: 11.60mm x 8.20mm x 4.75mm. Ring size: 7.5 (WEIGHT: 7.1 grams). This Kashmir is the most desired color, with its deep blue face and we did not observe any intensive silk.
