Provenance
This vintage engagement ring was made in the 1960s and features a natural blue sapphire, emerald-cut and claw-set in an open-back setting. The sapphire has such an intriguing water-like quality to it, its colour is hard to describe but reminds me most of wild delphinium flowers in full blue bloom.
The sapphire is flanked by several baguette-cut diamonds, each set east-to-west, six in total, channel-set and bordered by polished edges. Their striking hall-of-mirrors effect catches the light beautifully and the effect is very sophisticated. The shoulders are open and gently slope to form a solid 18ct yellow gold D-shape shank.
