14K YELLOW GOLD NATURAL SAPPHIRE LEAF FROND RING. 375. AFRICA-MINED SAPPHIRES.

 
  
      

PRETTY LEAF-LIKE MULTICOLOURED SAPPHIRE 14CT YELLOW GOLD RING. AFRICA-MINED NATURAL SAPPHIRES.

This pretty multicoloured, all-natural sapphire ring features 7 x natural coloured Africa-mined sapphires, oval cut and claw set in 14ct yellow gold. The ring head has a leaf frond design, the pinks, blue and greens of the sparkling gemstones are very striking against the warm lustre of the yellow gold. The ring head measures 13mm wide x 11mm long x 3mm above the finger. The piece has an unusual origin - it bears the Birmingham Assay mark, the jeweller's signature, the Africa-mined mark and the 14K hallmark indicating genuine 14ct gold. I don't think it was created in England but it certainly went through the English authentication and hallmarking process when it was brought into the country. I actually bought it in Birmingham, in the Jewellery Quarter itself. The sapphires originally came from Africa where they were mined. All of this makes for a rather well-travelled piece of jewellery! Beautifully crafted, the ring is in excellent condition, and weighs a good 3.3 grams. A lovely, feminine piece.

Ring head: 13mm wide x 11mm long x 3mm high    Weight: 3.3 grams     Ring size: 8 ('Q' in British or SA sizing)
