Est. $365,000-$375,000 6.09ct Kashmir No Heat Sapphire W/SSEF & Gubelin Certification in 1.00ctw VS1-VS2/F-G Diamond & Solid 18K White Gold Halo Setting (Comes W/$365,000 Appraisal) - This magnificent ring boasts a stunning 6.09ct genuine Kashmir sapphire which has been certified by both SSEF and Gubelin, who are the world leaders and most prestigious in colored gemstone grading worldwide. The sapphire is an elegant and timeless oval cut, and displays a medium strong transparent blue color 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. This Kashmir is an older-cut that has never been made available to the open market as it has been in an estate for over 50 years. You simply cannot find these stones due to their rarity and high demand. The sapphire is set in a dual 4-prong, solid 18k white gold halo setting, which is embellished with approximately 1.00ctw genuine VS1-VS2/F-G brilliant round cut diamonds. This ring will come with the SSEF and Gubelin reports for the sapphire, along with a $365,000 insurance valuation report in the winning bidder's name by a graduate appraiser. If you would like to view the full reports, please scroll to the last two photos as we have posted it online. The head of the ring measures 15mm x 14mm and the band measures 3.5mm wide.
