Purple Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring in Platinum

The sapphire is secured with elegant platinum talon claws and surrounded by a sparkling halo of diamonds in a distinctive rubover-edge setting. Crafted entirely in polished 950 platinum, the ring features 0.36ct of F-colour, VS-clarity diamonds.

Purple sapphires are a particularly fascinating variety of corundum, admired for their beautiful interplay of violet, mauve and sometimes pinkish-purple tones. The purple colouration is generally associated with chromium and iron within the crystal structure. Chromium can contribute pinkish-red tones, while iron influences the absorption of light, helping create the violet and mauve shades that distinguish these gemstones.

This sapphire originates from Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon, one of the world’s most celebrated sources of fine coloured gemstones. For more than two thousand years, the island has been associated with sapphire mining, particularly in gem-bearing alluvial deposits where crystals are recovered from ancient river sediments.
