Displaying the ideal velvety blue hue known as \"Royal blue,\" the important gem is graded as natural, unheated and Kashmir in origin by the AGL and GIA. Finding an example of a Kashmir sapphire is a rarity; an unheated example weighing over 7 carats, particularly of such extraordinary color and quality, is truly exceptional. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This sapphire, displaying a cushion sugarloaf shape and cabochon cut, is exceptionally brilliant. A sugarloaf cabochon is a rare and desirable variation of the cabochon cut, characterized by its conical, pyramid-like shape with a rounded top, whereas traditional cabochons are typically polished with a smooth, rounded surface and a flat bottom. This distinctive cut enhances the exquisite stone’s depth of color and luminous quality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sapphires hailing from the Kashmir region are undeniably the pinnacle of this popular variety of corundum. Unearthed in the early 1880s after a landslide in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, Kashmir sapphires are revered not only for their general scarcity but also for the softness of their velvety blue hue. And, unlike other colored gemstones, the stone’s incomparable color overwhelms any kind of light. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accentuating this extraordinary gem are two trapezoid step cut diamonds of G-H color and VS2 clarity, totaling 0.75 carat, alongside two triangular blue sapphires totaling 0.15 carat. Set in platinum. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/library.rauantiques.com\/Report_32-0757.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload the Reports\u003c\/a\u003e","brand":"M.S.
