This extraordinary ring centers on an unheated Burmese sugarloaf cabochon sapphire weighing 8.92 carats, an exceptional gem that embodies rarity and luxury. The sapphire’s distinguished origins are verified by the accompanying American Gemological Laboratories (AGL) report, along with an appendix letter highlighting its extraordinary attributes, including its remarkable size and superior quality. This sapphire is noted for its rich, saturated blue color, high clarity and excellent transparency—qualities that place it among the finest sapphires. The gem’s natural beauty is further elevated by its sugarloaf cabochon cut, a design that highlights its depth of color and luminous finish. Unheated Burmese sapphires of this size and quality are exceedingly rare, as most sapphires on the market undergo enhancements to improve their appearance.

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.
