I love to design rings that use a tension setting because I think it’s the best way to display high quality gems like Ceylon Sapphires. It’s a unique way of constructing a ring that puts all the strength into the setting rather than the band, and allows the stone to sit on top of the band front and centre so that it gets the recognition it deserves. The band itself is Sterling silver, which is a high quality metal, an combined with the 9 carat gold shoulders of this ring it creates a great looking ring that works to bring the best out of the stone’s lovely blue appearance. The cornflower blue gem is the September birthstone one of the most popular choices for ring settings, and it has been prized for its beauty for centuries while also symbolising wisdom and purity.
