• A rich "gem" color Kashmir sapphire ring with old European cut diamond shoulders in platinum.

• This classic Kashmir sapphire crystal is 85% tone with very good brilliance.
The stone is light to moderate in texture showcasing the vivid "Peacock Neck" KashmirBlue color with the distinct but suttle silky texture sought after in Kashmir stones. The stones deep pavilion is characteristic of old stones although it creates a slightly smaller 2ct stone face. The stone shows faint color zoning. The stone is lightly included (LI2) with no eye visible inclusions.

• Viewed with microscope at 50x magnification: The identifying internal inclusions show classic zones of alternating turbity with rich Kashmir color. The key feature distinguishing this stone from other origins are the wispy streaks of silk not seen in any other locale. This stone is easily identified as Kashmir origin.

• The platinum ring holds two old European cut diamonds with VS clarity weighing approximately 1.25 cts total weight. An extremely unique and rare find. Excellent for any connoiseur or gem collectors investment portfolio.
