• A "gem" color Kashmir sapphire and pink diamond ring.  Handmade in 18K white gold with 0.56ct of pink diamond.

• This intense to vivid blue Kashmir sapphire is 80% tone, with no eye visible inclusions or moderate (MI1) clarity.  The stone was recut in America to optimize the beauty and then recertified with a second Swiss laboratory verifying the origin as Kashmir (Gubelin & GRS).  The dimensions remained the same before and after recutting.  The stone is under two carats with a 58% depth so the face is a very large 2.25ct. This is a beautiful inexpensive Kashmir sapphire.  The option to unmount the stone from the pink diamond ring is available.

• Viewed with microscope at 50x magnification:  The identifying internal inclusions show classic zones of alternating turbity and rich color.  The stone contains a cluster of very small rounded zircon with comet tails near the culet visible under the microscope at 40x magnification.
