This exquisitely detailed multi-gemstone ring features an outstanding natural Scottish Sapphire, which is flanked by two rare AAA grade Rhodolite Garnets, and completed by a pair of vintage recycled Diamonds. This ring would make for a stunning engagement or wedding ring!

Celtic details, as well as the gemstone collets, are in natural hallmarked 'ALBA' 14ct Scottish Gold, on a 925 sterling silver base.

This unique ring is set to UK size N½ or US size 7, but has the potential to size up a little due to the open design of the band. The beautiful deep blue sapphire is 0.35cts and measures 5x3mm. Garnets are approximately 2mm diameter and diamonds are 1.5mm diameter. Width of the band at rear is approximately 4mm wide. Inside diameter when ring is fully closed is 18mm.

Incredibly rare, only a handful of people in the world will be lucky enough to own a genuine Scottish Sapphire. Also known as Isle of Lewis Sapphires, our Scottish native Sapphires are never colour treated, and display stunning natural blue shades, which are reminiscent of the seas which surround the beautiful, wild and rugged Hebrides.

Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
Rhodolite garnet is typically a purplish-red to pinkish-red gemstone, deriving its name from the Greek word "rhodon," meaning rose. What distinguishes rhodolite garnet from other garnet varieties is its exceptional brilliance and transparency. In the metaphysical word, they are associated with enhancing love, compassion, and emotional healing. Some also believe that rhodolite garnets promote positive energy, vitality, and inner strength.
