Est. $41,500-$42,000 Sabbadini 32.00ctw Invisible Set Near Flawless Burma Ruby, 1.20ctw VS1-VS2/G-H Diamond & Solid 18K White Gold 2" Wide Ring (W/$42,000 Appraisal) - This stunning piece is made of solid 18k white gold, and contains approximately 32.00ctw near flawless Burma Rubies. This gorgeous ring was made by famed jeweler Sabbadini, and comes from an elite Beverly Hills estate. The ring has a floral motif, and contains approx. 32.00ctw genuine near flawless Burma Rubies, invisibly set in the traditional Sabbadini style. These earrings are the work of a master jeweler, as this setting is extremely complex to create, and would have taken hundreds of hours to complete. The rubies are a stunning raspberry red color, and have a beautiful brightness to them. This is a true investment piece, as you cannot find rubies of this quality in today's market, due to the United States having a ban on the importation of Burma Rubies from Myanmar since 2003. The ring is also adorned with 1.20ctw genuine VS1-VS2/G-H diamonds that are a stunning, fiery white color and look gorgeous against the high karat white gold and bright red color of the rubies. Sabbadini Jewelry was started in 1940 by Bruno Sabbadini, and is currently under the leadership of his son Alberto. They are based in the heart of Milan, and cater to high-end Milan privates. They are known as one of Italy's premier gioielliere (jeweler in Italian), and also have show rooms in NY and St. Moritz. This piece is an unsigned, private reserve piece made especially for our client, and you will never see a piece like this again. Similar pieces have sold at Sotheby's for over $35,000. The ring measures 2" in diameter across the table of the piece. Ring size: 7. Please note: this ring is from a private reserve collection, and is unmarked. The ring will come with a $42,000 appraisal by a graduate appraiser in the winning bidder's name for insurance purposes.
