Sunshine in fine jewelry form. A splendid display of octagon cut jubilant yellow sapphire baguettes framed around both edges with glittering, petite white diamonds in a bright base of 14 karat yellow gold. Symmetrical and uniformed throughout, this beautiful band classifies as a romantic eternity ring-a consistent design crafted in a perfect circle or ring shape to signify a love that’s forever. What makes sapphires special? Sapphires have been prized as great gemstones since 800BC. It is a very desirable gemstone due to its excellent color, hardness, durability, and luster. Sapphires get their colors from trace elements in the mineral corundum. Sapphires can also exhibit what is called the “star effect” which occurs when the stone’s inclusions create a star pattern of rays on the surface. Is yellow sapphire rare? Although less common and more unexpected, yellow sapphire is found in the same mineral-corundum-as classic blue sapphire. Always thought of a cheerful shade, yellow sapphire comes in a variety of shades ranging from light to dark based on the concentration of aluminium oxide. What does yellow sapphire symbolize? Light-catching yellow sapphire is a symbol of optimism and lends the same femininity that flowers do in the springtime-perfect for bringing sunlight to chilly or rainy days. The pale stone looks especially pretty with the additional sparkle of classic diamonds and polished gold framework. How should I wear this ring? A modern and unique wedding band option or a glamorous piece to pair with party looks and everyday fashions, this ring sports an impressive ten and a half carats of luxurious yellow sapphires with over a half carat of round diamonds. Gemstones cover the full design, creating radiance from every angle that makes the sparkly band even more striking than a traditional cocktail ring. What inspired the design and colour of this ring? This chic gemstone infinity band was inspired by the sweet things in life. Good-enough-to-eat pale yellow coloring and a rectangular cut call to mind delicious desserts-icebox cakes, sponge cakes and lemon chiffon. The ring borrows the attractive golden yellow look of the sweet treats, trading the light, fluffy composition for the durable hardness of a nine on the Mohs scale for a quality ring designed to last. For the inspiration of the slim emerald cuts, our design team was influenced by the iconic yellow brick road in Wizard of Oz. In the movie, the path that directs to the Emerald City leads to a discovery of courage, smarts, home and of course, love-all the better with gleaming diamond detail along the way.
