Condition Notes: Complete the set with the matching bracelet, also offered in the same sale and set with an even larger sapphire! This ring, by contrast, centers a 15.42 x 12.95 x 7.42 mm sapphire, a respectable size.
This ring was previously owned by Irene Dunne, a five-time Academy Award nominee and one of the most versatile actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Age. The sapphire shows moderate abrasions and shallow, non-eye-visible chips to two corners, suggesting regular wear. The shank is unmarked; XRF confirms the metal as 18k gold, with diamonds set in platinum. Visible seams in select areas may indicate prior repair or custom work.
