Vintage Ring with Untreated Yellow Sapphire & Diamonds, Berlin c. 1975

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

This ring in high-carat white gold with a rich diamond setting and a large, bright yellow sapphire came to us from a distinguished Berlin estate. In addition to the well-known blue, sapphires can come in many other colours, including violet, orange, green and peach. Rarely do sapphires also show a radiant yellow colour - and we see this wonderful variation here. The large, sun-yellow stone is naturally formed and untreated, which means that its colour has not been altered by heating, irradiation or any other technical process. Only the cut of the 10.96 carat stone was added by human hands. An entourage of twelve brilliant-cut diamonds of a fine white colour and very high clarity surrounds the sapphire like small petals. Together, the diamonds weigh around 1.20 carats. The ring is handcrafted from high-carat white gold. While the settings of the gemstones are visually restrained, the ring band is a sculptural design from around 1975, composed of two polished sheets of metal that are joined together in the centre with a waisted shape. According to the previous owner, the ring was created in a West Berlin goldsmith's workshop. The ring is accompanied by certificates from the German Gemstone Appraisal Society in Idar-Oberstein and the German Gemstone Research Foundation. A statement piece that simply puts you in a good mood!

The term sapphire is derived from the Greek word "sappheiros" and actually means "blue stone". Just like the less common ruby, the sapphire is one of the two varieties of the mineral corundum. While only blue corundum used to be referred to as sapphire, we now know that the natural color palette of this high-quality gemstone includes not only blue, but also colorless, yellow, orange, pink, violet, brown and green specimens as well as a number of mixed colors. Only the red corundums are referred to as rubies. Particularly radiant colors, which the sapphire can produce in addition to blue, are sought after due to their rarity and achieve top prices at international auctions.
