An elaborately pierced yellow gold gallery enriched with delicate foliate-inspired openwork silhouettes lends an additional color-contrasting element to the aesthetic composition of this absorbing ring. Subtly shielded, gracefully descending shoulders are adorned with a pair of sparkling rose-cut diamonds on a platinum-topped mount and merge to form a yellow gold spherical band and an easily sizeable shank.

Ancient civilizations embodied the sky above as 'a gigantic blue sapphire stone into which the earth was embedded' available today in varying blue sky colors, from the 'deep-blue' of the evening skies to the 'bright-blue' of a clear and beautiful summer sky. Available in a multitude of rainbow colors, sapphires can display the bright fireworks of sunset colors from green, yellow, pink, orange, blue to purple, characteristically adopting the term 'fancy' to refer to non-blue sapphires. Traditionally referred to as a blue stone, the sapphire is associated with sympathetic emotions and a state of harmony connected to friendship and loyalty. The blue sapphire is today connected to permanence and reliability, symbolizing faithfulness while expressing love and yearning, explaining why women throughout the world choose sapphire engagement rings. Graded 8 on Mohs’ scale of hardness, the sapphire belongs to the corundum family consisting of heated and pressurized crystallized aluminum oxide within the earth's core. Minor proportions of other elements mainly iron and chrome award the corundum crystals their blue, yellow, pink, or greenish colors. This highly praised gemstone can only be found in a few places on earth and has to be brought to light through laborious procedures. Resulting from a major avalanche in Cashmere in1880, sapphires were mined intensively for eight years, establishing the upper limits of quality. Exclusive to the Cashmere sapphire is the fact that it does not change color when exposed to artificial light, exhibiting a pure and intensive blue enhanced by a fine, silky gloss. While the oldest sapphire mines are located in Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, sapphires of this origin today are distinguished by their luminosity and the brilliance of their 'light to medium-blue'color. Found in India, Burma, Ceylon, Thailand, Australia and Brazil, the value of sapphires is dependant on their size, color and transparency but Cashmere, Burmese and Ceylon sapphires are the most highly valued and cherished sapphires in the world.
