Magnificent sapphire and green beryl cocktail ring at Lang Antiques.

Good morning, kittens! (I’m trying to branch out on my endearments.)

I have something bold and wonderful for you today, so we’ll dive right in. I’d like you to meet a truly remarkable piece: it’s perfection in a sapphire and green beryl cocktail ring.

First things first: how cool is this thing?? 10/10 for pure visual effect. Color and shape hit it out of the park right from first glance.

This sapphire and beryl cocktail ring may look modern, but an antique – later Art Deco, from the 1930’s – 1940’s. You can feel the retro period coming on in its incredible boldness, but the Deco geometry is still there. It’s fantastic.

Let’s get a little more into the weeds now. Why is it fantastic? Well, first of all: the stones. That is a killer sapphire in the middle of this ring. A 5.68 carat, completely natural, no-heat emerald-cut blue Ceylon sapphire. Hot damn.

Surrounding big blue is a remarkable halo of 8.68 carats of gloriously mint green beyrl. The stones are perfectly matched in color and precisely cut to fit perfectly into each other to form a seamless, even, and stunning frame for the central sapphire. It’s gorgeous work. The jeweler who set these stones knew exactly what they were doing.

The final touch – and perhaps my favorite visual element of this aesthetic feast that is this sapphire and green beryl cocktail ring – is that each of the prongs holding the beryl halo in place in place ends in a small, sparkling bezel-set white diamond. The effect is somewhat atomic, sort of explosion-esque and completely delightful.

Here’s a better look at how the prongs turn into the bezel-set diamonds around the edge of the beryl halo.

Are you with me on this beauty, dears, or would you prefer something slightly different? Tell me your thoughts.
