This characterful 18ct yellow gold ring has a wonderfully sculptural design, with sweeping crossover shoulders forming an almost leaf-like frame around a vivid blue sapphire. The sapphire measures 3mm and is flanked by two 2mm round diamonds, with the warm gold setting providing a rich contrast to the cool blue and bright white stones. The shoulders are particularly attractive, combining polished, curved ribbons with engraved and scroll-like detailing that gives the ring a sense of movement. From the side, the raised setting and flowing construction are especially pleasing, while the smooth band keeps it comfortable and easy to wear.
The sapphire has an intriguing feature known as hexagonal colour zoning, with distinct areas of deeper and lighter blue following the stone’s angular growth structure. This is characteristic of natural sapphire: GIA notes that natural sapphires commonly display angular, hexagonal growth zoning, whereas the curved banding associated with flame-fusion growth is a characteristic feature of synthetic sapphire.
Fun fact: The sapphire’s hexagonal colour zoning offers a fascinating glimpse into its natural crystal growth. Natural sapphires commonly develop angular zoning, reflecting their hexagonal crystal structure, while the curved banding seen in many flame-fusion sapphires is a telltale feature of synthetic growth.

FAQs
Do you offer resizing or alterations?
I'm afraid due to lack of resources, I cannot offer any ring resizing or alterations at the moment, but I do recommend to my clients to reach out to their local jeweller for a quote on how much they would charge.
What condition are these pieces in?
All of my items are solid gold and are either modern, retro (over 20 years old), vintage (over 40 years old), or antique (over 100 years old) but they're all preloved/secondhand. Signs of wear and imperfections are more than likely (but isn't that just the joy of preloved and old jewellery?) so please make sure to double-check product information before purchasing to avoid any disappointment.
How do I know the metal purity is accurate?
All metal purities listed (e.g. 9ct, 18ct) are based on visible hallmarks present on the items. Where hallmarks are unclear or absent, this will be stated in the listing (e.g. tested for 9ct gold). All my items are solid – no plated or vermeil here!
How will my item be packaged and shipped?
All pieces are carefully packaged in a little white box with a gold string bow; for UK customers I send via Royal Mail Special Delivery to ensure they arrive promptly. For international customers, the same applies, and the delivery service is calculated at checkout. Items will be insured as per delivery service default limit.
What is your returns policy?
We want you to love your purchase. If you're not completely happy, please contact us within 14 days of receiving your item. As all pieces are one-of-a-kind antiques, we cannot offer exchanges, but we will do our best to resolve any issues.
