Understanding This Piece
About Sapphire
Sapphire is the second-hardest natural gemstone at 9 on the Mohs scale, making it durable enough for daily wear in engagement rings and bands. The classic deep blue is best-known, but sapphire occurs naturally in every color except red (which is classified as ruby) — including pink, yellow, peach, teal, and even color-changing varieties. Sapphire is the September birthstone and the traditional 45th-anniversary gem, and has been used in royal engagement rings for centuries (most famously Princess Diana's and Kate Middleton's).
About 14K Yellow Gold
14K yellow gold is 58.3% pure gold blended with copper and silver — the most popular fine-jewelry karat in the US for good reason. It delivers a rich, recognizably warm yellow tone while remaining hard enough for daily wear, holding diamonds and gemstones securely without wearing thin. 14K resizes cleanly and refinishes easily, and it carries strong heirloom value. For most clients balancing color depth, durability, and price, 14K yellow is the right answer.
About Wrap Rings
A wrap ring features a band that wraps around the finger asymmetrically — typically with one end sweeping over the top of the finger rather than meeting in a closed circle. The architecture creates dynamic movement and visual interest, and the open construction allows for some flexibility in sizing. Wrap rings often incorporate diamond accents along the wrapping element for added sparkle.
