Antique Eye-Shaped Montana Sapphire & Diamond Ring

This fabulous “eye” or “boat” ring mounting arrived in our shop with a damaged center stone. Obviously of top quality, we undertook a restoration of the ring mounting, complete with supplying a new center stone. The ring is crafted in platinum topped yellow gold, a hallmark of the Edwardian era, and features two sizable old Mine Cut diamond accents. We chose a stunning navy blue Sapphire as the center piece for this ring, since the color stands up to the warmth in the Diamonds (which have a subtle champagne hue) and furthers the illusion that this ring is an eye. This is an impressive large round Sapphire, of coveted Montana USA origin, with a lovely blue hue just kissed with violet- unlike most Montana Sapphires which have a green undertone. While not visible from the top, the ring is highly detailed on the sides with filigree work which is in excellent condition. This ring is easily sizable to any finger size and would make a lovely Sapphire engagement ring or vintage right hand option.
