Status: Sold

Ceylon Sapphire 1ct and diamond .50cts;18kt ring; 5.1 grams An elegant cocktail ring featuring a vibrant oval Ceylon sapphire of approximately 1.00 carat as its centerpiece. The stone displays the lively cornflower-blue hue for which Sri Lankan sapphires are world-renowned — bright, transparent, and richly saturated, with the brilliant flash that distinguishes Ceylon material from darker origins. The sapphire is prong-set in a raised gallery and flanked by a graduated cascade of tapered baguette diamonds totaling approximately 0.50 carats, channel-set in a sweeping ballerina-style arrangement. The fanned baguettes step gracefully down each shoulder, creating movement and architectural symmetry that frames the central blue stone with crisp, clean light. Crafted in solid 18-karat yellow gold and weighing 5.1 grams, the ring features a slim, polished shank that tapers comfortably to the finger, allowing the gemstone gallery to sit proudly at the center. A refined and wearable design that translates beautifully from daytime elegance to evening occasions — a classic profile that has remained a fine-jewelry favorite for decades. Center stone: Oval Ceylon sapphire, approx. 1.00 ct. Accent stones: Tapered baguette diamonds, approx. 0.50 cts total. Mounting: 18kt yellow gold. Total weight: 5.1 grams. Ring size: 6 3/4
