I love that this ring is elegant and hides a few tricks up its sleeve to give it a 'wow' effect. A beautiful mid to dark blue round sapphire sits proudly in the centre of an ornate 18ct White Gold setting. This is surrounded on the secondary tier by 8 brilliant round cut diamonds. 

Wait? On first glance, you would think there were also baguette diamonds in between the round diamonds. However it is simply the white gold that has been crafted in such a way to look like baguette diamonds and it really and truly fools you.

The next interesting part is the design of the shoulders on the 18ct Yellow Gold band. The pattern and slight indentation catch the light, emphasising the presence of the ring on the finger.

Overall this is a sublime vintage ring that certainly has a larger than life feel to it. The width and height off the finger really helps it stand out and is just waiting to be admired.
