Oval Sapphire Bypass Ring with .25cttw Diamond Accents in 14k Yellow Gold

An oval sapphire, a deep inky blue that lightens to a window of clearer blue at the centre, held in four bead prongs at the heart of this ring. Above it to the left and below it to the right, two fans of five tapered baguette diamonds each radiate outward like the spokes of a wheel, and channel-set round diamonds run down both arms of the bypass shank that sweeps past the stone on either side. .25 carat total weight of diamonds. 4.20 grams of 14k yellow gold.

Everything on this ring is moving except the stone. The two arms sweep past one another on the diagonal, the two fans of baguettes point the same way, and the whole head looks as if it were caught mid-turn — which is exactly why the dark, still sapphire at the centre reads so strongly. Motion needs something quiet to move around. It is a small ring by weight and a large one by presence, the kind that gets noticed on a hand across a dinner table before anyone has worked out why. Don’t you want a ring people ask about?
