Well, you know how much we love a stone that shows the magic of its origins - so this beauty floored us when we found her. Bi colour sapphires form when yellow and blue sapphires grow together, and this amazing natural phenomenon is one Science has not been able to copy in a lab yet.
Turn this stone and watch those colours change and dance - yellows, dark teals, light teals, forest greens - back and forth, round and round. They are just magical to watch and to marvel at each stones unique colour play. Surrounded by a halo of 14 natural diamonds this is a sparkly and colourful ring that is really filled with joy. The diamond halo is such a classic style, but paired with this centre stone there is such amazing personality.
Only made in 2024 in London - this gorgeous 9ct White gold ring has already travelled more than half the world, the question is where will it go next?

FAQ
Sizing
What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.
We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.
Time frames - sizing is usually complete within 3 weeks.

Lay-by is available on all full price items (sale items can be bought on a split payment).
