This is a stunning sapphire & 14k white gold ring. The stone is GIA certified as being from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and is not heat-treated. Sri Lanka is one of the most desirable regions for blue sapphires, and because of this, it commands a premium. 90%+ of sapphires on the market are heat-treated; to have a stone, especially of this size, is very rare; due to this rarity, no-heat treatment commands an additional premium.

Sapphires color generally range from light-medium (Pastel) saturation, to strong (Cornflower+) to vivid (Royal Blue). This stone is medium-light.

The condition of the stone is very good with some wear at where the facets meet. This stone is ex-jewelry and was not recently cut, but at least vintage, and likely antique. The most common inclusion is silk, including elongated silk strands. Silk is a common natural sapphire inclusion and is proof that a stone has not been heated.

The setting is 14k white gold and is a size 6.5 (sizable). For payment, I accept Paypal and Zelle. Direct contact is cdvii@vucetadiamonds.com.
