Set to centre with an oval cushion-cut natural sapphire set in elegantly curving claws in an open back setting which invites light to pool in and glow from within. The sapphire is a gorgeous midnight-blue colour and its surface is near-flawless despite its age. The sapphire comes alive in the light with shifting tones of cornflower, cobalt and deep indigo blue - it feels like looking into a Mediterranean lagoon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eForming an elegant coronet cluster design, its surrounded by eight old mine cut diamonds, each hand-cut and painstakingly matched for colour and brilliance.
