18ky Cabochon Sapphire & Diamond Ring

Crafted in-house by our team of goldsmiths at Brilliant Jewellery

A testament to the multi generational life of a gemstone, this high dome, 5.90ct sapphire was rescued from a worn out Edwardian ring. Given a new life in this 18K yellow gold dinner ring, it will be sure to catch the eye of anyone who shares your table. With a nod to the original era, we designed this ring with a baguette & round brilliant diamond halo, but the heart of this incredible ring is the stunning deep blue sapphire. A sturdy comfort fit shank & a protective bezel setting guarantees this ring will be a multi generational heirloom.

About

Contemporary Era

(1970 - Now)

Also referred to as the “More is More” Era. Large-scale jewellery started being produced as Pop Art and Bohemian fashions came into popularity.

Unconventional materials such as plastic and wood became the new medium of fabricating jewellery. Further, prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became increasingly popular. Jewellery of the Contemporary Era was labelled as “wearable art”.

As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant, with women donning oversized hoop earrings and chunky necklaces. As it became more common to see women in the workplace, the demand for purchasing "work wear" jewellery increased as well.

Costume jewellery truly began to take center stage during the 80s. With maximalism in full force, plastic jewellery was bright, eye-catching, and a cost-effective way to express individuality.

Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in style, because its something that is “made in current time”.

Sapphire - Corundum

Although vibrant blue sapphires are the most recognized, this gemstone can be found in many colours including yellow, purple, orange and green. First discovered in ancient Persia around 800 BC, the rich blue hue was associated with luxury and royalty. The most sought-after and rare sapphires are high in the Himalayas, at the famous sapphire mines of Kashmir. Known for their soft cornflower blue with a subtle hint of violet, these stones are mesmerizing. Sapphires are the birthstone of September and rank a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them an excellent alternative to a diamond engagement and for everyday wear.
