Make a striking statement of luxury and color with this magnificent Blue Sapphire and Old Cut Diamond Cocktail Ring. This piece is a beautiful blend of antique stone-cutting traditions and opulent, high-carat gold setting, creating a true heirloom jewel.
The Central Sapphire Cabochon
The focal point is a bold, beautiful blue sapphire cabochon. Set at the very center, the stone has a smooth, highly polished dome shape, which emphasizes its rich, deep blue color and velvety luster. This classic cut is wonderfully showcased by the diamonds surrounding it.
Dazzling Old Cut Diamond Halo
Framing the central sapphire is a lush halo of brilliant Old European Cut (OEC) and Old Mine Cut (OMC) diamonds. These antique diamonds are prized for their:
Chunky Facets: They reflect light in deep, bold flashes, offering a romantic fire distinct from modern cuts.
Buttercup Settings: Each diamond is secured within individual scalloped "buttercup" or "daisy" settings. This ornate, high-profile style was very popular in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, enhancing the perceived size of each diamond and creating a beautiful, floral-like pattern around the sapphire.
Luxurious 18k Yellow Gold
This substantial piece is crafted in rich 18k Yellow Gold. The higher gold purity provides a deep, saturated color and a luxurious weight that beautifully complements the deep blue of the sapphire and the antique fire of the diamonds. The shoulders and band feature delicate engraving or scrollwork typical of high-quality antique craftsmanship, adding to its visual appeal.
