Antique, Edwardian sapphire & old mine-cut diamond oval cluster ring snake

Antique, Edwardian sapphire & old mine-cut diamond oval cluster ring snakeProvenance Original to c. 1910, this Edwardian sapphire and diamond cluster ring is like no other and it is absolutely gorgeous. It has a highly unusual panel shape but with such rounded corners that it seems to be its own shape all together something in between an oval and an elongated cushion! Set to centre with a natural, unheated blue sapphire with an incredible hue. It reminds me of watching a clear summers night sky getting progressively darker

It is set with a trio of fiery rubies and scrolled shoulders
