Victorian 4.70 Carat Ceylon Sapphire Trilogy Ring, circa 1900
A rare, important, and utterly gorgeous Victorian sapphire ring. The trio of sapphires – all certified as natural, unheated and originating from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) – display a deep but bright blue. The gems are set in a striking setting, with trefoil claws an ornate carved detailing in the shoulders. A true treasure.
