A lovely antique Edwardian era pink sapphire and diamond ring, dating to circa 1910, within the Belle Époque period.At its centre sits a bezel-set pink Verneuil sapphire of approximately 1.3ct, displaying a vivid and highly saturated hue. The stone is most likely a flame fusion sapphire; a remarkable innovation of the late 19th century, perfected by Auguste Verneuil. First presented at the 1900 Paris Exposition, these laboratory-grown sapphires were chemically identical to natural stones and admired for their exceptional clarity and striking colour. At the height of their introduction, such stones were considered a modern luxury and could command prices equal to, or even exceeding, their natural counterparts.The central gemstone is framed by a delicate surround of small rose cut diamonds, set in platinum, providing a soft glittering contrast to the vibrant pink centre. The ring is crafted in 18K yellow gold, with elegant pinched shoulders typical of the Edwardian period.A refined and wearable example of early 20th century jewellery, combining traditional craftsmanship with one of the most important gemmological innovations of its time.UK size P, US size 7.75Weight 2.6gTests as 18K goldSapphire measures approximately 6 × 8 × 4 mm
