Gatsby Jewellery Ltd has dated this piece to the 1930s.
The sapphire is secured by eight 18k yellow gold claws. Eighteen eight-cut and transitional cut diamonds surround the sapphire is a wonderfully detailed setting, with slightly higher segments in the corners and fine milgraining throughout. The gorgeous hand-carved under-gallery leads to a slim platinum mount. Seriously impressive stuff.
