Offered is this extravagant vintage Art Deco reddish pink sapphire ruby ring. The large pear cut gemstone measures about 15.15 by 11.16 by 3.79 mm's and calculates to approximately 5 carats. It is EGL USA certified as having no indications of heat treatment present and Burma origin. This stone was considered a ruby when the ring was purchased by its original owner in the 1930's. At that time, all red and reddish pink stones were rubies. Today, EGL says it has enough pink to be classified as sapphire. I find it interesting that the certificate calls the stone a reddish pink sapphire but also states, "The characteristics are consistent with Burmese ruby".  I love that one can see both red and pink in this completely natural stone as mother nature made her. The sapphire/ruby is set into yellow gold, the band is marked and tested 10% iridium 90% platinum. There are two .25 carat tapered baguette diamonds on either side of the ruby, they are VVS clarity and G color. This large gemstone has natural eye visible silk inclusions. The girdle has some chipping and there is light abrasion wear to the facets under magnification. These can easily be polished out if wanted. The finger size is 5 and this ring can be resized by your local bench jeweler. UGS appraised replacement value is $56,250.00.
