AGL Certified Blue Sapphire Earrings 14KWG

Description

Featured in these designer earrings is a pair of VERY HIGH QUALITY Pear cut blue sapphires that are each individually certified by the American Gem Laboratory. Sapphires displaying an optimal color saturation level of about 85% with primary strong blue and faint secondary purple (very faint) color fetch the highest dollar. Add to this VVS near flawless clarity and excellent Pear brilliant cuts completely void of any windows, shading or dark zones and the result is the finest and highest quality material.

Sapphires of this caliber are often difficult to find as a matched pair and just the single stones can be priced at $2500-$3,000 with the matched pair getting hundreds more per carat (this pair was purchased in 2006 but I wanted to wait to use them until my design skills had advanced). This was a splurge for the business and as such I hope a client can splurge on themselves!

The 3.52 carat total weight pair dangle in prong settings with a unique custom pave diamond and rope border surrounding them and emphasizing the Pear or tear drop shape. The sapphires are of Madagascan origin, measure 8.1 X 6.1 X 4.7 mm, have dealer rated VVS clarity (very clean stones) and ideal color with perfect saturation that is even throughout the stones (no zoning or banding of color). Finely faceted Pear cut deliver spectacular cobalt to cornflower blue brilliance.

Several magnified photos of the stones are provided which will enable you to verify their spectacular quality and beauty. Beautiful rope detailed edging combines with pave set round brilliant diamonds to create a sophisticated style. The pair has 0.61 carats of fine quality SI1 G rated diamonds and weighs 7.0 grams.

The pair dangles 35 mm or a bit under 1 1/2 in length. This magnificent piece is offered by Jill Underhill of Color Symphony (http://www.colorsymphony.com) and will be shipped directly from their location in New Hampshire.
