A simply stunning sapphire and diamond ring from the Retro (ca1940) era! This fantastic platinum piece adorns an incredible natural star sapphire cabochon at the center of a gorgeous setting. The stone weighs approximately 14.08ct. and displays a wonderful, rich purple color. In the center of the stone is a faint asterism that can be seen as it catches the light. The sapphire is prong set within a platinum setting, and is surrounding at each shoulder with two baguette cut diamonds, which weigh approximately 0.50ctw. with G color and VS range clarity, giving the ring an elegant look. A smoothly polished band wraps around the back and stamped inside of the shank is a worn “10%IRIDPLAT" purity mark.

Additionally, the ring was appraised by an independent and accredited GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified Gemologist in May 2024 and has a stated retail replacement value of $19,000. It looks absolutely stunning on and would make a perfect addition to any collection!
