Sam's view: "Without a doubt, this is the best green sapphire I have ever seen. The colour is exceptional and the size is what makes it extra special. Sapphires weighing over five carats are rare, especially specimens with exceptional saturation and transparency such as this one. It's surrounded by a border of bright white diamonds, perfectly balancing the contrasting green sapphire. This ring is most definitely a favourite of mine. I will be very sad the day this stunning ring has to leave the collection - but happy for whoever gets the joy of wearing it."
