This striking antique ring features a beautifully saturated row of vivid blue sapphires framed by a halo of glittering old mine cut diamonds. The rich contrast between the velvety blue sapphires and the soft, romantic sparkle of the diamonds gives this piece exceptional presence on the hand.
The sapphires have a combined estimated total weight of approximately 1.00 carat and display a bright, vibrant blue that reads beautifully in both natural and indoor light. Their bold color anchors the design and gives the ring its unmistakable antique character.
Surrounding the sapphires are old mine cut diamonds with excellent clarity, offering that unmistakable chunky, candlelit sparkle collectors love. One diamond in the group is a transitional cut replacement, subtly blending into the overall design. The diamonds have an approximate combined total weight of .60 carats.
Crafted in 14K yellow gold with a silver top, this mixed-metal construction is classic to the era and was intentionally used to enhance the brightness of the diamonds. The ring has a wonderful low-profile, substantial feel and presents beautifully as either a statement ring or an alternative engagement ring.
Please note: The origin of the sapphires has not been confirmed, and the ring is priced accordingly. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, synthetic sapphires were extremely popular and often preferred for their durability, consistency of color, and modern appeal at the time. Their use is historically appropriate and commonly seen in fine antique jewelry of this period.
