A delicate, Georgian era ring modeled in 14k yellow gold and silver, whose primary gem is a vibrant, cornflower blue sapphire. This foiled, oval gemstone is held in a scalloped silver bezel where it is flanked by a pair of flinty rose cut diamonds. The diamonds are set in smooth bezels, each with a decorative, notched, collar-like base. The ring's shoulders are split, and they feature a nested flower bud, whose stem extends into the ring's truly spectacular openwork shank. An open heart shape catches the c-curl of the flower stem; it transitions into an open rectangle, and then into a captive fleur de lis— this pattern ends in a loose, knot-like form at the base of the shank. The ring head, here, is supported by small c-curls where it meets the shank. The back of the ring head is decorated with a fine pattern of rays. These early rings are precious and ephemeral! It is rare to find an all-original example, set with a cornflower blue sapphire.
