Sapphire and Diamond Bypass Ring

Exquisite vintage platinum bypass ring suitable to be worn as either an engagement ring or an everyday right hand ring. This heavy and well made ring is prong set with a fine natural emerald cut Blue Sapphire of the deepest and richest velvety blue color which weighs 1.18 carats. The sapphire is counterpointed by a very fine emerald cut diamond weighing 1.03 carats. The diamond is of top white color, free of any interior inclusion and well cut giving it great brilliance. The shoulders of the ring are each channel set with 5 straight baguette diamonds. The total approximate weight of all 10 fine matched baguettes is 50/100 carat. The 12 gems total 2.71 carats and are all of best quality. After 50 years in business selling the best of the best, I can honestly say this piece has the look of Van Cleef and Arpel but the inside of the shank is stamped "10% IRD. PLAT" thus indicating it was made by another unknown maker which is reflected in the very fair price. A classically elegant and understated piece of jewelry. The ring is currently a size 6 but could be sized easily to fit your finger.
