A SUPERB SAPPHIRE AND DIAMOND RING, BY BULGARI
Set with an octagonal-shaped sapphire, weighing approximately 20.48 carats, flanked by triangular-shaped diamonds, mounted in platinum, ring size 5½, in brown leather Bulgari case
Signed Bulgari
Accompanied by report no. 98769 dated 13 March 2018 from the SSEF Swiss Gemmological Institute stating that the approximately 20 carat sapphire is of Burma (Myanmar) origin, with no indications of heating and the colour of the sapphire may also be called ‘royal blue’ based on SSEF reference standards; also accompanied by an appendix stating that the sapphire possesses extraordinary characteristics and merits special mention and appreciation. The sapphire exhibits a remarkable size and weight, combined with an attractive and saturated blue colour and a fine purity. Its colour is further pronounced by its well-proportioned cutting style, resulting in vivid blue hues due to multiple internal reflections. The small inclusions found by microscopic examination and the analysed properties are consistent with those found in sapphires from the classical mines of Burma (Myanmar). Its saturated blue colour, poetically also referred to as ‘royal blue’, is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements in the gemstone, which are typical and characteristics for the finest sapphires of Mogok, Burma. A natural sapphire from Burma of this size and quality is very rare and exceptional
