11.00 Star Cabochon No Heat Ceylon Sapphire Gold Ring
$22,000
This bold jewel reminds us of a “vessel ring,” reportedly made popular in Europe during the 16th century. But instead of containing poison or another substance to bring about an enemy’s or the wearer’s demise, it seems to capture a magical healing elixir in a well of molten yellow gold.
That “elixir” is a substantial star sapphire cabochon from Sri Lanka totaling 11 carats, with a no-heat, natural blue color.
The components of the ring utterly complement each other, melding together in a dramatic curvilinear design that looks as if it drips around the finger.
