Three Stone Oval Blue Topaz Ring with Round Diamond Bar Accents in 10k Yellow Gold

Three oval blue topaz of a bright sky blue, each held in four yellow gold prongs, set in a row across the top of this ring with the centre oval a touch higher than the two beside it and an open gallery beneath. Between the stones, two vertical white-metal bars each hold three small round diamonds, six in all for .06 carat total weight. A plain polished shank with flat squared shoulders tapers toward the back. 3.50 grams of 10k yellow gold.

Three stones of the same blue side by side would blur into one; the two thin bars of diamonds between them are what keep each oval its own, so the row reads as three clear skies instead of a stripe. It is a December birthstone ring with none of the fuss — low enough for every day, bright enough to be noticed from across the table. Who needs three reasons when one blue will do?
