Burma Ruby No-Heat 4.75 Carats Set in Vintage Platinum Mounting, Certified

I recognise that not everyone is as delighted by the internal crystal structure of gemstones as I am (I'm a gemologist, after all), so I have priced this ring accordingly. It presents a tremendous to acquire an enormous natural and un-heated Burmese ruby ring...

A cushion-shaped, mixed-cut, eye-clean 4.04 unheated royal blue sapphire from Madagascar is the discussion here. The included AGL "Prestige Gemstone Report" concludes that the sapphire has an origin of Madagascar, no "clarity enhancement," and no indications of heating. For many, this Royal blue is the ideal tone for a sapphire. It is the same regal blue seen on the finger of the Princess of Wales. Unheated sapphires with an interior as clean as this stone, and with such a fine, even tone are exceedingly rare and highly valuable.
