Featured Sapphiret Rivoli?

Agreed.

I totally see now. I think in all my years of selling and dealing with jewelry I’ve only handled actual saphiret once.

Oh that is stunning. I see the appeal; I love blue stones anyway and that is amazing.

There are ‘saphiret’ loose gems being sold on Etsy at fairly low cost. I swear I’m seeing the same or similar being put into older pieces of jewellery and being sold for a lot of money on eBay.

 

that's one of the things I'd never buy on internet. although Whiting & Davis is certainly a reference for the era I'd have a hands-on inspection by a trusted expert.
for me the danger of it being post-war Neugablonz is always too high.

 

Only posted the Whiting & Davis parure to show the maker, thought it had already been established that it's circa 1950s and sappharine rather than sapphiret...

edit: Yet somehow missed that the OP had already identified it as Whiting & Davis - oops!

 

Gorgeous, and Whiting and Davis to boot!

 

pretty !
