No reserve price - Ring Platinum - 6.65ct

Wonderful antique platinum solitaire ring, unheated 6.41-carat Ceylon sapphire and natural diamonds 0.24 carats. No Reserve 1920s Art Nouveau / Art Deco period Delivered in its adorable old case covered in celadon marbled paper, velvet and silk lining, with a lid signed M Moulière, A. Leroux Successeur, Le Mans The centerpiece of this ring: its sublime and imposing unheated white Ceylon sapphire, 11.6 mm in diameter (6.41 carats), accompanied by its certificate from the French Gemological Laboratory No. 410015 The crystal is transparent to the naked eye Under magnification, one can discern tiny inclusions characteristic of Ceylon sapphires: glittering rutile needles, butterfly wings (visible in the photos) Its brilliant cut gives it a diamond-like appearance Its slight doubling effect lends it a unique charm Its white color slightly shifts toward blue or gray depending on the lighting atmosphere, so one could almost say it has moods throughout the day, giving it a very lively personality An exceptional sapphire deserved a royal setting... It is set high on an openworked crown that allows light to enter, reflect off its internal facets, and then diffuse generously outward The crown is pavé-set with 24 small old-cut diamonds These are not roses, but cute little old-cut diamonds, with a rounded shape Eight more can be found on the ring shoulders Diameters 1 mm and 1.5 mm Total weight approximately 0.24 carats Quality estimated at G-H / VS-SI Ring decorated with a small groove Reverses with a pierced design Dazzling ring that marries luxury and sobriety perfectly Its elegance rests on the accuracy of its proportions and its simplicity, far from excess and discomfort Finger size 54 - 6 3/4 - 17.2 mm Weight 4.27 g Carat stamp with a dog head for platinum By jewelry tradition, platinum, a metal with a more matte appearance than 18K white gold, is used for exclusive stones to enhance their brilliance and sparkle Fast and careful shipping by insured, tracked parcel
