Honey Pot : MidCentury Yellow Sapphire Cabochon Ring in 14ct Rose Gold

♥Sold♥

A bold statement ring from the MidCentury Era, circa 1950s, modelled in 14ct rosey gold and set with a huge synthetic (lab) yellow sapphire cabochon.

The high dome of the sapphire cabochon has a lensing effect, reflecting and rotating the scenery around it like a magic crystal ball. You can clearly see your surroundings reflected in the surface of the cabochon. It’s truly mesmerising to watch, I kept wondering if I was going to hypnotise myself! The colour changes with the light from buttercup yellow through to a deep sunshine orange, much like all the varieties of honey swirling around inside a magic dome.
