This exceptional gemstone is set in a platinum mounting by the renowned jeweler Raymond Yard, accentuated by sixteen mixed-shaped diamonds of D-F color and VVS1-VVS2 clarity, with a total weight of 1.25 carats. The sapphire’s provenance is further validated by an appendix letter from Christopher Smith, President of the American Gemological Laboratories (AGL). It identifies its origin as the legendary Mogok Valley in Burma, often hailed as the "Valley of Gems." This region is celebrated for producing some of the world’s most revered sapphires, treasured for their unmatched quality.
In his letter, Smith highlights the sapphire's extraordinary qualities, stating, "Its size of nearly 9 carats additionally places this item in a class with very few top gem-quality sapphires from any source." He further notes its "high clarity, providing a superior degree of transparency," elevating this gem to a rare echelon of excellence. Presented in its original box, this ring exemplifies the harmonious fusion of masterful artistry and nature.
Considered one of the great Art Deco jewelers, Raymond Yard was renowned for his designs that display high-quality gemstones in exquisitely crafted platinum settings. In an age of American enterprise, the iconic New York jeweler created one-of-a-kind jewels for famous clients, including the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Woolworths and DuPonts. Credited with elevating the Art Deco aesthetic to new heights, fine jewelry collectors highly covet his classic designs.
