This exquisite 14.50 mm purple star sapphire is a prime illustration of such unaltered beauty, showcasing an almost opalescent velvety sheen that speaks to the untouched integrity of such silk inclusions. The bracelet/bangle portion is entirely crafted from platinum, while the sapphire is set in a intriguing blend of oxidized silver atop similarly oxidized 14k gold. Adorning the length of this hinged bangle are rose-cut diamonds while a halo of mine-cut diamonds encircles the sapphire. Remarkably, the rose-cut diamonds remain undamaged. The addition of a safety chain and a figure-eight safety latch ensures security for this vintage piece. Heritage Auctions strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
