Sapphire Ring with Baguette Diamonds
The Blue Flame! |
|
|
Among the ancient South Americans, platinum was believed to be "tears from the Moon." While this striking platinum ring may make you cry for joy, we promise it will never make you weep.
This ring features an emerald-cut sapphire and six baguette diamonds. The sapphire weights 2.65 carats and is aflame with rich shades of indigo and blue. The sapphire was emerald-cut to maximize the beautiful intensity of its color. On each side of the sapphire are three baguette diamonds. The diamonds are graduated in size and set at increasing heights to create a brilliant stairway leading to the regal blue sapphire. The effect is very reminiscent of the fine jewelry of the Art Deco era. |
