A fabulous parti with such character. This 1.2ct oval natural parti is like peering into a rockpool at your favourite beach. On one edge a corner of deep blue, that as you gaze from different angles seems to shimmer and flow - the linear quality is almost cloud like and this navy fronds dance with the teal light beneath them. The central channel of teal over sand is the lightest part of the stone, in the light it dances, in the shade it is muted. The green of the other end of the stone is a lovely contrast to the navy and it is such a great reminder of the wonder of these natural stones.
Claw set in a chunky 1970s yellow gold ring, there are star set diamonds in the raised shoulders, and they offer a lovely detail and sparkle when you turn your hand.
This ring could totally be stacked.

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.
