Regular price
$720.00
Presented is a fantastic quality 18K gold and synthetic sapphire ring. The oval synthetic sapphire is securely bezel set in a simple, square 18K gold setting. The synthetic sapphire has fantastic color and clarity, and it is lab created. The sapphire measures about 13.31 by 10.2 millimeters and 5.72 millimeters deep, and is a minimum of 6.02 carats, possibly as high as 6.26 or 6.5 carats. A great, high end looking piece for a fraction of the cost. This was likely made in Europe in the past 30 or 40 years.
The ring is marked on the inside of the band with 750 for 18K gold, and EGA for the maker. The 750 stamp is double struck. We have tested it with nitric acid and guarantee it to be 18K gold.
The condition is excellent. The stone is in great shape, with slight abrasions to a couple corners, not very noticeable except on very close inspection using a jeweler's loupe. There is a small amount of wear to the edge of the gold bezel around one side of the sapphire. This is visible in the first photo between the 9 to 11 o'clock positions. There are no breaks, no cracks, no splits, no dents, no chips and no repairs.
The ring is between a size 5 3/4 and a size 6. It can be sized up or down.
The weight is 4.8 grams.
