Appraised Jean-Thierry Bondt 18k Sapphire & Diamond Daisy Ring · Size 7.25

Paris pedigree meets garden glamour. Jean-Thierry Bondt’s atelier on rue de Choiseul supplied icons like Van Cleef and Boucheron; here his hallmark “JTB” joins the French poinçon hibou owl, certifying rich 18 k gold. At the center glows a natural blue sapphire (~5.8 × 4.8 mm, about 0.4 ct). Eight VS-grade diamonds, each 3 mm and E/F in color, circle it in a classic mid-century cluster—total weight just under a carat. The sturdy shank keeps the blossom balanced and comfortable. Please message me after purchase if you would like me to transfer the appraisal to your name (this will be necessary for insurance). I will happily provide this at no extra charge, and it will add a 4 business days to the shipping time.
