Lot 17
Centring a claw-set oval yellow sapphire weighing 8.66 carats, flanked by two similarly set oval brilliant-cut diamonds together weighing 1.40 carats, mounted in platinum and 18ct gold, size M, gross weight approximately 9.7 grams.
Accompanied by:
an AGL report numbered 1107381, dated 6 March 2020, stating that the 8.66 carat yellow sapphire is natural, with no enhancement;
a GIA report (gia.edu/report-check-landing) numbered 7508711074, dated 23 October 2024, stating that the 0.70 carat diamond is natural, D colour, SI2 clarity;
a GIA report numbered 7511144124, dated 7 January 2025, stating that the 0.70 carat diamond is natural, D colour, SI2 clarity.
Estimate $16,000 - $20,000
In our opinion, the sapphire exhibits a colour shift of light yellow and orangy yellow hue with strong saturation, relatively eye-clen and a few very small nicks seen under magnification to the girdle.
The diamonds are bright and lively, of D colour and SI2 clarity, as gauged and graded within the limitations of the cutting style and the mounting.
The mounting displays very minor scratches commensurate with age and wear.
The ring is of good workmanship with signs of wear consistent with age and use, not noticeable when worn.
Overall condition is very good.
