14kt Yellow Gold Sapphire Ring

This 14-karat yellow gold ring is built around a 1.13-carat blue sapphire, set as a prong hidden halo.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. The center stone comes from Sri Lanka, with its treatment disclosed plainly as on every listing.

A ring meant for the moment it marks and the decades after it, the sort of piece that is handed down rather than replaced. Hand-finished and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
