Smooth Antique Sapphire and Diamond Band

Smooth, low, with a hit of sparkle and a pop of colour all sunk flush into high karat gold, this ring is everything we're looking for in an everyday ring. The synthetic sapphire is a vivid shade of blue, and it's important to remember that in the early 20th century this would have been positively cutting edge technology: synthetic corundum (rubies and sapphires) created using Verneuil's process only came to market in 1903. Early synthetic stones in jewelry were the perfect blend of technology and art, and we love the way they have made beautiful treasures accessible.

Good antique condition with wear in line with age and use, including a moderately visible full reshank.
