The vast majority of sapphires on the market today have been manipulated to make them look as attractive as possible. Sapphires are often heated to improve their purity or color, less often filled with lead glass or even radioactively irradiated to improve their color or purity. Today, around 95% of sapphires are treated in one way or another. In this hand-forged ring from the 1960s, however, there is a sapphire that has not been treated to enhance its natural beauty - apart from grinding and polishing the rough stone. An oval ring face is set on a three-part platinum ring band that splits at the top. Fourteen small white diamonds sparkle in prong settings and form a large oval. The centerpiece of the ring is the facet-cut medium blue sapphire weighing approximately 3.60 ct. The gemstone, which probably originates from Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), has not been heated or purity-enhanced: it shines before us as nature created it. Its powerful, compact shape and its workmanship of platinum struts allow us to date the ring to around 1965. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the materials. It is supplied with the ring. We were able to discover the ring in very good condition in the south of France.
