An Important Sapphire and Diamond Ring by Van Cleef & Arpels
This ring is absolutely beautiful with the prevailing influence of Art Deco. It’s a spectacular 45 carat Burmese sapphire ring. Designed by Van Cleef and Arpels, its mount is almost invisible, to highlight the perfect cut and beauty of the stone.
It’s hard to describe why but jewels with a historically significant provenance have a certain aura that distinguishes them from other jewels. They emanate a very special and different energy.
The described sapphire exhibits an impressive size and weight of 45.740 ct, combined with an exceptional purity and attractive well saturated blue colour.
The few inclusions found by microscopic examination are consistent with those found in sapphires from the classic mines along the Mogok Gemstone Tract in Burma (Myanmar). Its attractive and saturated blue color, poetically also referred to as ‘royal blue’, is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements in the gemstone, which are typical and characteristic for fine sapphires from Mogok, Burma”.
