The colour of this superb Burmese sapphire brings to mind some of the most important Burmese sapphires in the world; the Rockefeller sapphire ring and the Duchess Of Windsor brooch with the panther surmounting a sapphire sphere by Cartier.
As demonstrated by the names associated with the two pieces just mentioned, connoisseurs appreciate 'royal blue' sapphires from Burma, as they tend to possess a much richer colour and saturation than material from different origins.
The 'royal blue' sapphire set in this ring displays an intense vivid, well balanced and evenly saturated blue colour with a spectacular play of life.
