This ring features a fine sapphire of rich chromatic colour that is typical of sapphires found in Burma. Burma is a renowned source for some of the world's most richly saturated sapphires and rubies. This particular stone weighs 0.75ct. What this sapphire lacks in size, it makes up for in colour and vibrancy, packing a punch with its electric blue undertones. Set in a simple gold band, it needs nothing more and is perfect for everyday wear. This ring has an understated and contemporary feel, lending itself to be easily paired with other rings, stacked or even worn on its own. The natural patina adds charm and denotes the ring's long history.
