Provenance

Original to c.1902, this Edwardian sapphire and diamond five-stone ring is set with three natural blue sapphires, each of which subtly has its own hue and tone, a detail only apparent upon close inspection. The central sapphire is larger than the others and has a stunning Mediterranean blue hue. The two smaller sapphires have a slightly darker midnight tone, the colours compliment each other very nicely.

Tiny rose-cut diamonds are interspersed in between the sapphires and they have a lovely warm, soft glow to them. The stones have been thoughtfully graduated in size, offering a well proportioned and flattering spread across the finger. All gemstones are claw-set in open-back settings, featuring ridged and carved scallop detail which has a lovely decorative effect without being too ornate to distract from the gemstones themselves.

The ring sits nice and low in profile, making it comfortable and practical to wear - this ring would be the perfect engagement ring or perhaps an alternative to an eternity ring, which can be loved and worn everyday!
