Vintage Intaglio 4.75 Carat No-Heat Sapphire Signet Ring
30-1-13537
ABOUT THIS RING
A rich royal blue sapphire, weighing 4.75 carats, cut with an extra-large table to accommodate a hand- carved coat of arms--a British lion atop a shield--is flush-set in a plain, classic 18K signet style ring in this rare and refined vintage jewel (circa early-20th-century). Accompanied by a gemological report from Stone Group Laboratories stating: Natural. No Indications of Thermal Enhancement. Sri Lanka (Ceylon) - origin. Now, and forever, ring size 8. Condition note: The sapphire has a small chip at the upper right edge, as well as an internal stress fracture, which presumably has been there since time immemorial, however, under the circumstances it would be safest to to leave well enough alone and not tempt fate with the high heat required for resizing. Left alone, there's no reason it shouldn't enjoy a healthy life for at least another century or two.
