Sapphire Gold Ring, Sz. 7. with 3.72cwt Sapphire. Independent Master Valuer Appraised . See Video.

This ring features a 3.27 cwt sapphire appraised by an independent master valuer for $1,225 BEFORE setting. A custom gold setting was made for it. The setting is approx 14k solid yellow gold (acid tested to 14K) , but setting was made off shore and is not hallmarked. Twenty six melee stones are clear 2mm sapphires. Sapphire is 9.7x7.9x4.1 . I do not sell man made stones. All my gems are earth mined. Expect imperfections Any questions, please ask. NOTE: one melee stone was lost when setting, as can be seen in pictures. I can no longer repair.... but took into account when pricing. See Video.

THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED Sapphire. Appraisal by a master valuer ( at time of this listing I am using Steven Knight GG, R.M.V., CJA-CAP) for a retail replacement value of $1,225 Canadian . A signed ,sealed copy of his appraisal of the sapphire, made out in your name It will be sent to you at no additional charge. It will be sent separately to you by Mr. Knight from his lab. Takes a few extra days. Master valuers are considered THE experts on coloured gems, and their appraisals are accepted by insurance companies as genuine retail replacement value.

The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads.
NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment. Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.

Sapphire is the birth stone for those born in September. Corundum, with traces of iron, titanium, chromium, vanadium or magnesium responsible for the color. Sapphires are 9 on the moh's scale, right behind diamond ( moh's10)
Sapphire is said to bring peace and prosperity to those that own it.
Sapphires are not as expensive as the other corundum, Ruby. The most expensive sapphire to my knowledge sold for approx. $17,00,000.00 at auction.

Sapphires wholesale to the trade today for approx. $50 for a 1 cwt stone of very low grade quality to approx. $3,000 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. ($7,000 for an unheated) . The price goes up to well over $20,000 or more per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. ($40,000 for unheated) The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup.
