Shreve, Crump & Low is proud to offer this important sapphire and diamond ring. Where shall we look for an apt analogy for the "Jewel of Kashmir", to the sky or sea? With it's celestial glow and ultramarine hue, we could liken it to the heavenly bodies or to the oceanic depths with equal fairness. It is a truly remarkable gem, all the more magical because it has been plucked from atop the high peaks of the Himalayas of Kashmir.
