This ring, with its eye-catching diamonds and colorful lapis lazuli stones, is a brilliant example of the sense of fashion that influenced jewelers during this time period.
The face of the ring features twelve, each of which is colorless and translucent, their round cuts providing eye-catching sparkle and shimmer as light reflects off their facets from different angles. To keep the stones secure, they rest in yellow gold prong settings, the vibrancy of the gold a lovely contrast to the colorless stones. Adorning either shoulder of the ring is a large lapis lazuli stone which is blue in hue with intense gold speckling. Yellow gold bezel settings keep the lapis lazuli stones secure.
The shoulders taper into a smooth, polished yellow gold band for a comfortable fit when worn.
