10k Yellow Gold Natural Blue Sapphire Cabochon Harem Ring w Diamonds

This lovely and unusual 10k yellow gold ring is filled with natural blue sapphires arranged in a dramatic flower or starburst design.

Rings featuring clusters of colorful cabochon gemstones are sometimes known as harem or princess rings, and this one is especially beautiful. At the center is an oval natural blue sapphire, surrounded by a halo of slightly smaller oval and marquise-shaped sapphires that radiate outward like the petals of a flower.

The sapphires are a gorgeous shade of blue, just a touch deeper than classic Ceylon blue. They appear darker and moodier in dim light, then reveal considerably more of their beautiful blue color in bright light.

These are natural, imperfect sapphires, and close inspection reveals the inclusions and variations in color that give each stone its individual character. You will see natural color zoning throughout the cluster, and the central sapphire has a noticeably paler area toward one end.

The shoulders add even more sparkle. Each is set with another blue sapphire and accented with tiny natural diamonds, creating a lovely transition from the dramatic gemstone cluster to the slender 10k gold band.

The ring is wonderfully wide across the front, but narrows to a simple band at the back, giving you plenty of presence on the hand without feeling overwhelmingly heavy.

Colorful, romantic, and just a little extravagant, this is a gorgeous vintage sapphire ring for anyone who believes more gemstones are almost always better.
