AN UNHEATED SRI LANKAN YELLOW SAPPHIRE PAIR A pair of cushion-shaped light yellow sapphires, weighing 5.77ct and 5.13ct. Size/dimensions: 18.10 x 8.90mm and 11.80 x 8.90mm Weight: 10.90ct (total) Accompanied by Lotus Gemology reports nos. 1256-6737 and 3221-2774, dated 28th September 2015, stating that the sapphires are of Sri Lankan origin, with no indications of heat treatment. This lot has been imported into the United Kingdom. The buyer will pay VAT at 20% on both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium unless the lot is re-exported; please see our Terms and Conditions for details. Neither stone shows abrasion or chips to the facet junctions, nicks to the girdle, scratches to the table or any sign of repolishing. There are a few small feathers about the pavilion and table, none surface-reaching, and natural straight colour zoning is visible. The stones are of light pastel yellow, one very slightly lighter than the other, and are otherwise well matched in size and cut. The pair is offered in excellent condition. Buyers wishing to have these stones set into a jewel are welcome to contact the Jewellery Department, who can arrange designs and estimates for mounting through an experienced workshop in Bangkok.
