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 Sapphire:
 
This ring features a central 2.10-carat Montana Sapphire. The Sapphire was cut by renowned gemstone artist John Dyer. Dyer is a master gem cutter who is celebrated for his artistic ability. He is the recipient of over 50 elite gem-cutting awards, including a multi time winner of the AGTA Spectrum Awards.
 
Every John Dyer gemstone is a unique work of art. John Dyer studies each piece of gemstone rough individually to determine the best way to maximize the gem's beauty and brilliance. He releases the hidden allure of each gem through innovative, proprietary cutting styles.
 
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.
