Night Sky : Vintage Lapis Lazuli & Rose Gold Statement Ring

♥Sold♥

Bold as anything, this is the perfect everyday statement ring.

TheĀ  lapis lazuli cabochon is top quality – an even and deep night blue with tiny glimmering flecks of gold that twinkle and disappear with the light, it’s like having the night sky at your fingertips. The cabochon is set high onto a hefty rose gold bezel and held in place by six lusciously long claws. The setting was handmade in the 1930’s and is likely Australian in origin.

This ring has been a restoration project. Originally the setting held a very damaged opal triplet. I just could not resist those delicious claws and the beautiful old rose gold colour, so despite the damaged stone I brought it home resolving to give it a new look. Local gem carver Susannah Gai was commissioned to cut a perfect new lapis cabochon for me, and I think the result is marvellous (she is a wizard, check out her incredible intaglio gemstones, so amazing!). The deep blue of the stone compliments the rose gold so well. It’s smooth and sexy and perfect with jeans. Everyday chic.

The lapis cabochon is approximately 5 carats in weight, it measures 19.6mm x 9.8mm x 3.5mm.
The face of the ring measures 19.5 mm x 11.5mm, the ring sits 7.7mm high on the finger.
