Antique Cushion Cut 3.669ct Kashmir Sapphire and Diamond Ring

A securely claw set intense velvety electric blue 3.669ct cushion cut Kashmir sapphire captures the eye at the centre of this beautiful ring. Ten sparkling brilliant cut diamonds surround the central sapphire (3.00cts), both embracing and defining this rare and exceptional stone. Few gemstones are rarer than Kashmir sapphires, which originate from the legendary Kashmir mine in Northern India. This mine only yielded these remarkable electric blue sapphires for a few years at the end of the 19th century and was largely depleted by 1887. As such, these sapphires are only found in existing pieces of antique jewellery, either remaining in their original settings or having been remounted in the Art Deco or Retro periods. This example was hand-selected by members the Pragnell family, and has been remounted in this classic setting. Our six generations of experience ensure that the history and rarity of this sapphire have been perfectly understood, with a truly classic setting. This superb gemstone is accompanied by certification from the Swiss Gemological Institute (SSEF), confirming its Kashmir origin and that it has not been subjected to any heat treatment to enhance its colour or clarity.
