Vintage, 1990's sapphire and diamond engagement ring Five Stone

Vintage, 1990's sapphire and diamond engagement ring Five StoneProvenance A vintage flanked solitaire sapphire ring, c. 1990. This ring is defined by the remarkable sapphire sat at its centre. Weighing over 3. 50ct, this natural blue sapphire is a well proportioned oval mixed cut and claw set in an open back mount, which allows light to flood into the stone and bring its colour to life. What I love the most about this sapphire is its beautifully varied tone. By traditional standards, the most prized sapphires
