Providence | 0.95ctw Montana Sapphire Ornate Gallery Ring
A whimsical spray of teal adds vibrant color to your ring stack in a ring that features details and nuance galore!
An ornate gallery incorporates swirling, heart-shaped cut-outs that are visible only from the side. From the top view, bezels featuring beaded millegrain detail the gold surrounding 0.95-carats of Montana Sapphires.
Bookending the spray of sapphires are two square forms in gold that leads the eye into a knife-edged band detailed with millegrain.
About the Providence Style:
A city built on the side of hill in 1636 by exiles from Massachusetts Bay Colony, Providence, my hometown, is one of the oldest cities in the country and an architectural delight. Founded by Puritans, the ring style Providence inspired appears clean and simple from the top view, but a look down the finger reveals ornate details and hand-crafted artistry, much like the carved wooden details, stained glass, and fluted columns found in the architecture around the city.
The Providence nods to two antique setting styles: the 8-prongs borrowed from Victorian jewelry and the millegrain bezel, which has been used since the first century B.C. By employing antique styles in this series, Providence celebrates timeless styles and traditions of jewelry making while providing a classic comfort in every ring.
About the Sapphires:
This ring features a spray of Montana Sapphire.
Montana, known as the Treasure State, is rich in many mineral and gemstone sources, including sapphires. Gem-quality sapphires were first found in Montana in 1865 by gold rush prospectors who found the gems in gravel along the Missouri River. These gems came in a wide variety of fancy colors, including a range of blues and greens, purples, lavenders, pinks, yellow, and a host of other hues. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, only diamonds and other sapphires can scratch a sapphire. This along with the beautiful hues make it one of the most durable gemstones to use in everyday jewelry. Montana Sapphires are guaranteed to be sourced under safe working conditions using environmentally responsible principles.
