18ky Cabochon Sapphire & Diamond Ring
Unique rings for any occassion
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.

Contemporary Era
(1970 - Now)Plastic became a new medium to fabricate jewellery. Other pieces were often made of other unconventional materials such as plastic or wood. Prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became the new style. Jewellery of this Era was considered “wearable art”.
As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant and large, such as oversized hoop earrings and necklaces which were worn by women in the office with their “power suits”. With women commonly in the workplace now, purchasing jewellery for oneself became increasingly common.
Costume jewellery truly began to take centre stage during the 80s. Neon plastic jewellery was not unusual to see on the younger members of this era- especially in a large statement earring. Another staple of the 80s was cross jewellery, necklaces being the favourite.
Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in trend, because its something that is “made in current time”.
