At its center sits a natural sapphire of between 10 and 15 carats, a stone of exceptional size. The sapphire has been pierced at its center and set with an old-cut diamond of approximately 0.30 carats, estimated SI clarity, F color.
A jewel within a jewel, and a demonstration of extraordinary technical skill on the part of the original maker.
The sapphire is surrounded by a halo of diamonds that further amplifies its presence on the hand.
The reverse of the ring is finely chased, a level of finish entirely consistent with high-end workshop production, where every surface of a piece was considered and executed with equal care.
