Sold, enjoy! See collector's comments below
Collector wrote, 'this is the biggest saphiret in my collection'. This is indeed an important pin in that this has the boldest largest faceted Saphiret art glass stone on the web! This desirable bi color faceted stone measures just under 1 1/2" or 40mm across! The pin itself measures 2 1/8" across. The stone is so big that it could be cut down to make several good size ones.
