The ring is in excellent condition.
This sapphire has been assessed by Gemmological Certification Services as being basaltic in origin. This means it formed in or around volcanic basalt rock, crystallised in high-temperature environments associated with basalt lava flows and has higher iron content, which account for the more saturated blue colour. Basaltic sapphire deposits include Siam, Australia, and Southeast Asia amongst others.

The marquise shape is a soft oval with a stretched point at each end, although there can be a wide variety of proportions from almost ‘spiky’ thin marquises to ‘fat’ rounder shapes. Another name for the marquise cut is ‘navette’, French for ‘little boat’ as it echoes the smooth outline of a ship’s hull.
