A very fine, medium "cornflower" Kashmir
sapphire.
The tone is 70% with moderate texture and moderate
dichroic effect. There are no eye visible inclusions (Moderately
Included MI1-2). This old classic crystal is a lighter
bright color. The stone has an ideal 74% depth, showing
a beautiful 4ct+ face.
The ring is handmade by Viachi, in 18K two tone
gold with 1.27cts of VVS fancy yellow & white (F-G)
)diamonds. The Italian craftmanship is superb showing
detailed bead set bright cut diamonds with exceptional
symmetry.
This natural color Kashmir is priced very inexpensive.
Purchased and recut from 5cts in 2004. Our price has not
been changed since 2004, althought the value of stones
has increased atleast 30%. The gemstone is accompanied
by both AGTA (NY, NY) and GRS (Switzerlands) certificate
reports stating no enhancement and Kashmir origin.
Viewed with microscope at 50x magnification: The internal
inclusions below, taken with our microscope at 50x magnification,
show typical 'classic Kashmir' signatures. This stone
is easily identified as Kashmir. The stone has two reputable
laboratory certificates confirming it's origin. GRS (Switzerland)
and AGTA (NY city). The former director and signer of
the AGTA certificate is now head of research at Gubelin
laboratories Switzerland.
