Sapphires were named after the Greek word "sapphirus", meaning blue. Ancient civilizations even believed that the world rested on an enormous sapphire, which painted the sky blue with its reflection. Our fabulous ring is hand mounted with over 1.4 carats of gorgeous Marquise cut sapphires accented by 2 flawless Diamondeau - flawless simulated diamonds in a budding vine design. The solid 925 sterling silver setting are lavishly plated in 18k gold to contrast and highlight the sparkling gemstones.
