2.08ct Parti Sapphire Five Stone Ring,London Made 1989 9ct yellow Gold, size P1/2 or 8, 3.07g

This ring arrived to us with five very dull and scratched garnets - which is totally of the time in the late 1980s. Gold was cheap enough to warrant five garnets in a half hoop with some lovely scroll detailing to the sides of the cast ring. But jump forward nearly 40 years and those stones have seen better days and the price of gold has skyrocketed. So into our trove of hand-cut Australian stones we dug. The result - a parti five stone half hoop that has amazing finger presence and an array of colours - thanks to those magical parti sapphires. 

From olive greens, to sages, turquoises and teals to blue and even hints of burnt yellows, and deep forest greens; this ring is alive with the colour display of partis we have come to love. The three oval stones are shallower and more muted in their display, but the two round stones dance in their blues and turquoises. We love those brighter pops of colour at the end - almost shouting of their bigger parti friends 'look at me'. 

Claw set (and semi bezel on those final stones) the claws sit flush to the top of the ring - rather than proud (like a lot of rings do). This gives a gorgeous side profile where the stones pavilions sit under the face of the ring. With beautiful scroll details  on the galleries and shoulders we are suckers for a green/ blue & gold combo like this.
