A spectacular high carat unheated untreated natural blue sapphire and diamond 14K white gold bracelet, 11.58 carats total weight.
The stunning unheated untreated blue oval cut sapphires are claw set in special settings with a diamond in each of the prongs for perfect sparkle!
There are alternating large sapphire and diamond links followed by fine solid white gold links set with dazzling rows of perfectly set fine white brilliant cut diamonds.
The stunning earth mined natural blue sapphires are unheated and untreated -they are just as mother nature made them having been only faceted and polished. No modern treatments here! No glass filling! No beryllium! No diffusion! Such sapphires are rare and much more valuable than treated or heated sapphires.
In bright lights a clear bright blue can be seen, in more subdued lighting conditions a darker sultry blue - like all unheated untreated natural sapphires different lighting conditions resulting in varied shades of blue.
Sapphire and diamond details:
The total weight of the Eight natural unheated untreated Ceylon type blue sapphires is 9.70 carats.
The diamonds are VS clarity F/G color with a total carat weight of 1.88 carats.
The total sapphire and diamond weight is 11.58 carats
I think it is important to note that it would be a time consuming and difficult process to obtain a set of 8 sapphires matched for color, clarity, cut and approximate dimensions which could take months or much longer for a precious gem merchant to manage to secure a set of beautiful sapphires matching in this size for an important custom order.
This dazzling blue sapphire bracelet measures 6 3/4" long end to end (172mm). The measurement across each oval cut sapphire and diamond link is 1/4" and across the hidden safety clasp it is 5/16" wide (5.5mm, 8.0mm).
On the reverse of the bangle on the safety clasp itself there is a clasp 14K metal fineness mark, meaning solid 14 Karat gold, this confirmed by testing.
It weighs 20.3 grams.

The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
Comment:
Unfortunately, in the last two decades many sapphires seen in modern jewelry have had the color induced by high temperature heating in chemicals such as beryllium. This is called diffusion treatment and includes surface diffusion, bulk diffusion, lattice diffusion, deep diffusion and beryllium treatment. In recent years sapphires have been clarity enhanced by filling any fissures or cracks with molten lead glass, sometimes the glass is colored as well, with time the filler falls out or goes cloudy ruining the stone. Polymer resins can be used in a similar way. Colored coatings can be applied to the back of a sapphire. These treatments are undesirable and such treated stones are of very low value. We do not sell sapphires with these treatments. The glorious blue sapphires in this luxury high carat bracelet are all unheated, untreated natural sapphires of fine gem quality - they are just as they were mined - this wonderful fact makes this particular bracelet the perfect choice for a special sapphire celebration such as an engagement, anniversary or wedding. It is of heirloom quality that wonderful family piece to pass down in the family for generations to come.
