I don't think I've ever seen a ring quite like this one. My daughter purchased the mount i.e. it contained all the smaller multicolored sapphires but was missing the center stone. She searched and searched till she found the unheated natural blue Ceylon sapphire in the center and had her jeweler set it in place for her.
This is a large cocktail ring: from end to end (N-S) the ring measures 38.17mm long, or 1.50 inches. East to West, we're looking at 22.39mm wide, or 0.88 inches. Usually something this large is bulky and rather unattractive, but not this ring. Somehow it remains elegant and absolutely stunning with that rainbow of diamonds and colored sapphires surrounding the 11.66 x 9.25 x 6.44mm Ceylon Sapphire. Magnificent in my opinion.
