Top Gem Blue Sapphire & Diamond 3-Stone Ring in White Gold

What this Sapphire lacks in size it makes up for azure blue color, and it makes quite the impact on the hand. The gem, sourced from Sri Lanka, is cut into a coveted square cushion shape. It is set into a classic trellis three stone mounting which uses arcs of white gold to form prongs which hold each of the three gems. It is set on either side with a top quality Diamond that adds just enough sparkle to dress this ring up. Enough about the mounting though, the real story here is the color. Blue Sapphires occur in every tone and shade, and each has its merits. But in the market, there is a color and intensity that is most prized: a pure blue color untouched by green or violet modifiers, with a purity of tone that allows the viewer to see the color honestly in all light, and with a depth which is medium-dark and rich, but not overly dark. This is the perfect example, and at an approachable price due to lucky timing. This would make a great Sapphire engagement ring (this color is traditional in Europe as a Diamond alternative), but it would make an equally great anniversary or September birthstone ring.
