About the Item

Ring in 18 karat yellow gold, owl hallmark, and platinum mascaron hallmark. Signed Mellerio dits Meller, this sumptuous ring is set with a natural and unheated color change cushion- cut sapphire that goes from an intense blue and bright under natural light to a bright purple and empurpled under incandescent light. It is supported on both sides by 2 brilliant-cut diamonds. Signed Mellerio dits Meller on the slice. Total weight of sapphire: about 2.38 carats, total weight of diamonds: about 0.60 carat. Sapphire certified by the French laboratory of gemology - LFG and the Gemological Laboratory of Paris - GEMA. Origin: Ceylon. Type: Sapphire natural color change. No treatment. US Size : 7, 5 ; Free resize, please contact us. Authentic antique ring - French work of the 1940s. Our opinion: Natural color change sapphires, that is to say having received no treatment, to reveal this phenomenon are rare and valuable. Originally from Sri Lankan mines - formerly Ceylon, this sapphire is particularly highlighted by the high quality frame signed by one of the biggest names in French jewelry, Maison Mellerio. The story of this jewel: This sapphire tank ring was bought during the war by an American soldier. He brought home this typically French ring to his fiancée and asked for her in mariage. 40 years later, this ring was bequeathed to their eldest daughter who chose to part with it recently.
