Angular signet ring perfection. This ring is such a fabulous statement piece that is striking from every angle. 

The ring itself is made of buttery 18ct gold. The wide sloping shoulders feature fabulous cross hatching that catches the light and purposeful engraved tassels at the ends. However, all eyes are on that centre panel. 

Set with a semi bezel north south face - the parti sapphire is the most glorious central square. At a sizeable 6.8mm this modified square faceted stone has amazing triangular corner facets with a table with an 8 sided diamond (I get that is not a real shape - but look at the macro photos and you will see what we mean - it has 8 sides). All these lines and angles give this ring an amazing angular feel a draw your eyes to the unique faceting. 

This stone is just amazing - over 2 carats of rich tropical greens and yellows - like walking through a vibrant tropical jungle and leaves catching the sunshine. 

Truly remarkable and such a statement piece.  Stones of this size and lavish uses of 18ct gold just don't happen much any more - that is why we are always so thrilled to find vintage, circa 1950s in this case, examples.

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.
