This ring (with a synthetic centre stone) has been much admired in our store for a while. But you all had the same complaint - what a waste of a ring on a man made stone. We were patient, and about a month ago the perfect natural sapphire that was just a fraction smaller than the original and an amazing stone swap candidate for this ring.
We love the way this stone has an almost teal colour in the light (and shadows) and the way it sings in the East West Semi Bezel 18ct White Gold basket. We adore an East West set stone - that something different and a great way to catch the eye.
With 6 bezel set diamonds (total carat combined weight estimated at 0.12ct) H colour and VS clarity we love that the rich metal and great diamonds are now accompanied by a killer centre stone.
The contrasting 18ct yellow gold knife edge shoulders are delicious and warm and we love that the basket sits high - so a flatter ring could sit flush if this was to be an engagement ring. Alternatively you pair her with the 14ct milgrain diamond set happiness ring that also just hit the shop.
This ring comes with an independent valuation for $3970AU from 2026

Hallmarks "18CT"
Condition - centre stone has been re-set - the stone now sits inside the original basket - this offers protection to the sides of the stone. Surface scratches as expected with a vintage ring of this age.
Care - As a general rule - jewellery should not be worn for strenuous tasks that may put pressure, chemicals and weight on them (think cleaning, gym, swimming/spa, carrying things). Jewellery should be inspected checked every six months by a jeweller to check for wear.

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.
