A 10.22-carat Azad Kashmir unheated sapphire in 18K yellow gold: this sentence requires no amplification for those who know. Kashmir sapphires are the most coveted colored gemstones in the world, prized for a blue that no other origin replicates — a silky, velvety depth of color that seems almost lit from within. An unheated stone of this origin and this carat weight is an extraordinary and genuinely rare find.
