Amazing Sapphire
Quote this post and reply to it Post#1 @ 02-06-05 , 03:03 AM


While checking out a link to Christie's from the diamond forum I came accross this ring that I had to share. The sapphire has such amazing color; its amazing!!! I am not crazy about the setting but I guess I could learn to love it if I was given this ring. Times like this I ask my poor DH to the computer so I can share my fascinating finds with him although strangely enough he usually doesn't have the same reaction I do....

No...? I posted the image. That's strange that you can't see it. Here's the link so you can check it out. They have some exceptional pieces.

Your welcome! It's not super sparkly being a cabachon and all but the color is amazing.

Well, now I'm looking all over the place for pics of cab sapphires!

I found this at CherryPicked...it would only set you back $150,000

(Loch..how did a ring offered by Christie's end up in a snow storm???)

AAHHH!! It's contagious. I know what you mean. Normally I'm not really a cab person but when I saw that photo it was just stunning.

I have to check my piggy bank; if I've got enough pennies I'll give you a run for your money on the cherrypicked stone; although owning a Kashmir stone would be the ultimate. I should have know better and posted the specs sooner.

Per Christie's
Sale 1324, Lot 423
A SUPERB KASHMIR SAPPHIRE RING
The sugarloaf sapphire weighing 20.79 carats with fancy-cut diamond shoulders to the plain 18k gold hoop, ring size 6
With report no. 43744 dated 21 October 2004 from the SSEF Swiss Gemmological Institute stating that the sapphire is of Kashmir origin, no indications of heating.
Estimate: SFr280,000-360,000 (US$240,000-300,000)

Don't know much about the snowstorm.... only that an talented painter is now without their palettes as they were too caught in the terrible storm.



Per Christie's
Sale 1324, Lot 411
A pair of diamond and gem-set "Painter's palette" earrings by Suzanne Syz
Each designed as a pavé-set brown diamond paint palette with vari-shaped amethyst, spinel, orange garnet, tourmaline, yellow sapphire, apatite, rose-cut diamond, cabochon emerald, and sapphire 'paints', each holding three paint brushes, mounted in 18k red gold and silver.
Estimate: SFr35,000-50,000 (US$30,000-42,000)

Surprisingly this reindeer miraculously avoided the ruckus.



Per Christie's
Sale 1324, Lot 365
A diamond and gem-set stag brooch by Michele della Valle
Estimate: SFr10,000-15,000 (US$8,400-12,000)

I've been addicted to the site all day! The pieces on there are gorgeous. I need a bunch of money and plane tickets to all the auction cities!

LOL...what a great post! Aren't those palette earrings wild???

I don't know what they'd look like on, but they sure are fun to look at!!! I love the freeform "gem dollops" of paint!

OK, Now I can see all of the photos... maybe my computer was acting up the other day. Love the pallet earrings. I agree that they might not look as good on as to be seen in the hand

Bummer. I wonder why? When I went on Christies site today I had no trouble. Browser settings maybe?

I've found every once in awhile I can't see pics people post either. They appear as small white rectangles with a little red X in the upper right hand corner. It that was is happening to you?

I don't know what is happening, but I could see them at work, but I can't see them from home. I can see Widget's pictures though. No red X - just nothing there. Shrug - wonder what else I am missing. :P

Can you see this one from the Sothebys site?

Per Sotheby's
Of crossover design, the shank partially pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds weighing approximately 2.00 carats, terminating in two cabochon sapphires, mounted in 18 carat white gold.
