Blue Sapphire & Diamond Halo Ring (1/2 ctw)

A round 6 mm natural blue sapphire holds the center, and a full half-carat of diamonds rings it edge to edge, so the blue reads deeper against all that white light. This is the one people mean when they picture a sapphire ring. The halo does double duty here, guarding the girdle of the stone and pushing the whole face up toward a full carat of presence. Blue sapphire is a 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, which is why it wears as an everyday ring and not just a special-occasion one. Choose white gold or platinum to keep the blue cool and modern, yellow to warm it, rose for something softer. It ships in our signature box, ready for the proposal, the anniversary, or the birthday that deserves more than another plain solitaire.
