A Large Purple Sapphire Set Cruciform Diamond Ring

A striking 18th-century cruciform ring set with an imposing purple sapphire, measuring approximately 1.3 cm × 1.1 cm, its rich colour and size unusually bold for the period. The central stone is flanked on each side by a substantial old-cut diamond, creating a powerful, architectural silhouette characteristic of early Georgian jewellery.
