Antique 3 Stone Diamond/Sapphire Ring $735.00

At first glance we thought the beautiful colour sapphire shoulder stones were natural but after a thorough examination we found out these are an early flame fusion variety of synthetic sapphire. I think over the past almost 100 years these sapphires may have fooled many jewellers.

The centre stone is a natural old European cut diamond measuring 4.2mm diameter and estimated to weigh 0.27 carats. It is of good quality, grading a VS clarity with a G colour.

Tungsten Carbide and 18 Karat Gold Ring $200.00
