Antique ring with 7.50 ct Ceylon sapphire and Old Mine diamonds – Italy, 1950s

This stunning vintage ring, made in England around 1880, is an authentic example of period fine jewelry, where excellent craftsmanship meets the selection of exceptional quality gemstones.

Entirely crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, it houses at its centre an ancient gem of extraordinary beauty: a natural untreated sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), known to be among the most prized in the world.

The cushion-cut stone features an intense and luminous cornflower blue color , rare on the contemporary market. This delicate yet vibrant hue has always been considered the most coveted among connoisseurs, precisely because it reflects the chromatic purity typical of natural, unheated Ceylon sapphires.

With its generous dimensions of 12.66 x 11.91 x 5.46 mm and an estimate of approximately 7.50 carats, this sapphire stands out for its volume, balanced proportions and quality of crystallization, characteristics that make it a highly collectible gem.

Framing the central stone are two lateral diamonds in an old brilliant cut (“Old Mine Cut ”).
Each diamond measures approximately 4.50 mm and weighs 0.50 carats. They feature a color between H and I and a clarity of SI, subtly enhancing the elegance of the ensemble.

The ring's simple and noble design, combined with the rarity of the central gem, makes this jewel a unique piece, designed for those seeking exclusivity, historical value, and investment value.

🔬 Accompanied by an IGI/HRD gemological certificate and professional appraisal, the jewel is valued between €22,500 and €25,000.

💝 Recommended as a prestigious gift

A ring of exceptional charm and value, ideal for those wishing to celebrate a special moment with a rare, authentic, and one-of-a-kind jewel. A perfect choice for those who love to collect or give the gift of true beauty, with a story to tell.

➡️ Ideal as an investment for the following reasons:

💎 1. Natural untreated Ceylon sapphire : rarity and increasing value

• Sapphires from Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) are among the most sought-after in the world for their purity and typical bright, brilliant blue color.
• The fact that it has not been heat treated makes it exceptionally rare: most sapphires on the market are heated to enhance their color.
• Natural, untreated stones increase significantly in value over time, as they are increasingly difficult to find.

💍 2. Large carat weight: 7.50 ct

• A stone of this size holds and increases its value more steadily than smaller carats.
• It is a format sought after by both collectors and investors: untreated stones over 5 ct are considered “blue-chip” in the gemological world.

✨ 3. Matching with antique diamonds

• The ring is embellished with two diamonds whose cut and setting recall a classic or antique style, adding historical and aesthetic value to the jewel.
• This balance between the large central stone and the lateral diamonds makes it a unique piece, difficult to replicate.

🏛️ 4. Precious jewel, timeless style

• The refined design and high-quality finishing give the jewel a lasting beauty that resists fashion.
• It is a tangible safe haven, comparable to works of art, with the advantage of portability.

📈 5. Growing demand on the luxury market

• The demand for certified, untreated sapphires is constantly increasing, especially in Asia, Europe and the Emirates.
• Given increasingly limited availability, the market value tends to rise in the medium to long term, making this ring an excellent choice for diversifying a portfolio.
