Notes

The sapphire, here, is original to the ring, and its facets are lightly abraded. This facet wear is subtle, so we have chosen to leave the stone as it is, to avoid risking damage to the slim-line bezel. This sapphire can be removed and re-faceted, if its new caretaker prefers (reach out with inquires).
