In our stone collection we have some amazing sapphires - 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 parti sapphire was reserved until we found a truly deserving ring. This parti sapphire is a shallow mix of teals, blues and flecks of yellow. What is most striking is the blue circle at the base of the ring - the little loop that reminds us of the amazing fact that parti sapphires combine natural yellow and blue sapphires - and are only found in three places in the world. Glance through the photos and see these amazing pale colours intertwining and being set off by the sparkle of those round brilliant cut diamonds.

This stone is shallow - 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. 

This amazing diamond halo ring  was made pre 1973 and is likely Australian made (based on the hallmarks). The hero stone is held in a simple four claw setting, this beauty is surrounded by 10 round brilliant diamonds in the most perfect halo. The shank is rounded white gold and the sloping shoulders rise into the cluster, one pointing north, and the other south. The basket is high, so a wedding ring would sit perfectly next to/ under the cluster - making this the perfect choice for an engagement ring.

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.
