This very unusual and palpable 2.06 carat bluish violet to purple, natural color change sapphire, is set, exquisitely, in a modern 18k white gold mounting which exhibits heavy hand engraved embellishments and mill graining. GIA certificate number 1236031241 describes the stone's unusual color change phenomenon, and will accompany the ring when sold. All color change gems are rare and highly prized. It is additionally set with twenty four brilliant cut diamonds surrounding and flanking the sapphire, having a total exact weight of .38ct. Overall diamond quality is G color and VS1 clarity.
