A beautiful and unusual antique ring. Created in rich 18 carat gold and brought back to life with a restoration that embraces its history as well as the journey forward.
At the centre of the ring sits an oval blue sapphire, its deep hue providing a striking focal point. We discovered the ring with its original side stones missing and, rather than attempting an exact replacement, chose to take the opportunity to create something both sympathetic and refreshingly different.
The two side stones have been replaced with pale blue topaz, their cool icy tones creating a wonderful contrast against the richer blue of the sapphire. Together, the trio of stones produces a fresh palette that sits beautifully against the 18 carat gold mount.
A charming and individual piece, lovingly revived and ready to begin its next chapter.
