Octagonal Cut 3.54ct Madagascan Purplish-Pink Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold and Platinum

A beautiful octagonal cut Madagascan purplish pink sapphire commands attention as the centrepiece of this stunning ring. The entrancing sapphire (3.54ct) captivates the eye, securely claw set into richly polished 18ct yellow gold. Sparkling smaller pear cut diamonds (0.80cts) have been expertly hand selected to sit either side of the central sapphire, discreetly drawing the eye towards the impressive centrepiece with their delicate sparkle. The island country of Madagascar is surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, and is home to a striking array of flora and fauna. Large sapphire deposits were discovered on the island in the 1990s, and have since become renowned for the exceptional quality, vibrancy, and size of their output. The example featured here reminds us of tropical flowers on a beautiful summer's day, and is the result of trace elements of iron and titanium. This gemstone is accompanied by certification from the GRS (GemResearch Swisslab AG) to confirm that it has not been subjected to any heat treatment to enhance its colour. Both diamonds are also certified by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) to confirm colourless (D) and VS1-VS2 clarity grades.
