Catalogue Essay
It is indisputable that every stone on a Harry Winston masterpiece is on its own a work of art. The step-cut sapphire from Burma mounted on this ring of classic design is no exception. Burma has been home to the world’s finest rubies and sapphires since ancient times, and its sapphires are particularly known for their superb, rich and vibrant blue hue, which is described as ‘Royal Blue’ in the trade. This name has since then become synonymous with sapphires of the highest caliber.
Modern Burmese mind yields very few sapphires of gem-quality, even fewer of which exceeds 10 carats after cutting and polishing. This natural sapphire weighs over 13 carats, certified to be of ‘Royal Blue’ colour, is surely every collector’s dream. Despite the challenging step-cut that masks a gemstone’s fire in general, this sapphire shines with the most elegant and vivacious blue flashes, deeming it highly covetable. This ring brings together the celebrated name of Harry Winston and a superb Burmese royal blue sapphire, marrying classic elegance with outstanding pedigree.
