Each has its own personality and style - and this one is a show pony in the sunshine and subdued in the shade. The hand cut natural sapphire is dark and demure in the shade - it is inky and dark like the night sky. We love this contrast of the dark against the white diamonds - the tall white gold U shaped setting, and the rosier yellow gold. But, take her into the sunshine and this showpony comes to life. The shallower cut stone means the light dances through the darker colour easier and the blues and even corners of teal are like a royal blue blue kaleidoscope. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSet with diamonds in the shoulders - these offer a lively gentle sparkle and a great balance of colour. Made in the 1970s (ish) when gold was substantially cheaper - this is a chunky and great example of the Era. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is a scratch on the shoulder - if you want it buffed out a little - we can do this - it will add a day or so to posting times - and remove the years of patina that have built up. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eParticulars: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize M or 6.25 (sizeable)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight 4.19g \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWidth 7.15 x 11.4mm on a flat reverse tapered shank - tapering to 4.05 x 1.05mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eStone - shallow cut natural sapphire - 7.15 x 5.15 x 2.5mm - approx 0.67ct - looks much more like a 1ct stone \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eand 4 natural diamonds 1.5mm single cut diamonds - combined 0.06ct \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHallmarks  \"9ct\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCondition - some facet wear - see photos.
