In our stone collection we have some amazing sapphires - 50 we managed to get in a parcel from a lovely old gent who had fossicked and hand cut stones from all over Australia, but mostly the Glen Innes region. Having put them into a handful of rings, this beauty may well be the last of the trilogies.

These oval stones are wonderful in their rustic cuts - made to maximise the stones that he found. And that is what is to love about them - no high fangled technology, no precision cutting, just a man and his finds at a lapidary club, cutting them into shapes that best suit the individual stones. They are rustic in their style and we love the slightly higgedly piggeldy arrangement of facets.

The centre stone here is dominated by green, and framed by two much bluer stones, one of which throws teal-y-turquoise lights.

Held in classic four claw settings the side stones sit just beneath the larger centre stone. The shoulders of the ring feature three engraved lines across each, and other than that the ring is a plain half rounded shank that draws focus to the stones. Its original stones had had significant wear, so we were thrilled to be able to re-use the ring with these hand cut treasures.

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.
