Comment: THE one-and-only magic Kashmir blue. Certified Burma sapphire with big AIGS report. Additional reports at your leisure. Over three carats, no window, unheated and  extra clean = 3*NOS a.k.a. as good as it gets. Hypnotic - once seen, never forgotten. This is NOT a merrily sparkling sky-blue (as the images should make clear) and even not the cornflowery royal-blue but the otherworldly deep blue that has made Burmese sapphire famous and expensive. Join the elite club of sapphire lovers who have worshiped the finest blue in the world for many generations. See side and back images for more of this color. The traditional Burmese hand-cut is simple but effective and flawless, perfect polish, perfect dimensions with almost 10x7mm face-up. The only inclusion, invisible to the naked eye, is in fact an 'indent' (a crystal dropped out of the surface) that does, strictly spoken, not count as inclusion. Such a gem should be secured with at least six prongs, if it must be prongs. Ringsizes between 5 and 8, please with bezel up to 10, with a diamond halo making it all the way.
