The ring is handmade of 15 karat yellow gold, but marked 14k when it was resized about 30 years ago. The ring is set with 2 sapphires which are natural and hand cut at 40 points each which is 80 points of a carat for the total carat weight.
The oldest sapphire mines are situated in Ceylon, today called Sri Lanka, where gemstones were mined in ancient times. The expert recognizes Ceylon sapphires from the luminosity and brilliance of their light to medium blue color. Most blue Sapphires, however, come from Thailand or Australia. Sapphires in the Victorian Language of Gems means “Innocence”

The ring also has 4 small Old European hand cut diamonds on each shoulder of the ring.
The hardest, rarest, densest natural substance known to man, diamonds have been a source of fascination (and misinformation) since 800 BC when they were first presented to royalty in India. In those days the Indians believed that diamonds were created when lightning struck rock. Amazingly, the sub-continent was the only producer of diamonds for an astounding 2,500 years.
In the language of Gems in the Victorian time period the diamond meant “Forever Thine or True Love”.
The ring is a Size 7 ¼ and can be resized without disturbing the value of the ring. The Sapphire and Diamonds and gold are in excellent condition and a pretty dainty.
