Square Platinum Ring with Sapphire
Cool to be Square! |
|
Here's a non-traditional engagement ring with an artistic flair! In fact, we created this wonderful ring for a young woman who is a talented graphic artist.
The outer contour of the ring is square, but we added a round inner band to ensure that the ring would fit comfortably on our client's finger. For each important anniversary or life event, we suggested setting a small diamond in one of the four corners between the band and the ring.
The ring features a rich blue sapphire and two round ideal-cut diamonds of exceptional quality - D to E color and VS clarity. The sapphire is securely set in four platinum prongs, while the two diamonds are set with three prongs slightly below the sapphire. We chose three-prong settings for the diamonds to show off their round shape and ideal cutting. If we used four-prong settings, the diamonds would have taken on a square or boxy look. |

From the side of the ring, you can see the highly polished platinum surfaces, as well as the soft rounded corners and gently curved edges.
When purchasing a sapphire, you should consider the hue, tone and saturation of the stone. Ideally, the sapphire should be blue or violetish-blue, medium to dark in tone and moderately-strong to strong saturation. Avoid sapphires that are overly dark or nearly black. Also avoid sapphires with strong gray overtones that reduce the intensity of the hue and beauty of the gem. If you prefer a more pastel shade of blue, you should seek a sapphire that has a nice saturation and a minimal amount of grey. Most sapphires and many other gemstones are heat treated to improve their color. Natural color, untreated sapphires will command a slight premium in price. |
