Provenance
Original to c.1890, this Victorian navette ring features five stunning natural blue sapphires - each perfectly matched in colour, clarity and carefully graduated in size. The sapphires have a rich and velvety royal blue colour and their cushion-cuts give them a certain depth. Grain-set in silver and surrounded by a polished border. Surrounded by a further cluster of old-cut diamonds, grain-set in silver and bordered by polished edges.
The shoulders are beautiful, decorative split shoulders designed as the stylised stem of a flower, further engraved with diamond-shaped motifs. The shoulders taper to a solid 18ct yellow gold band. The ring's profile sits very low on the finger, so despite its large size and vertical orientation, its suprisingly comfortable and practical to wear!
