Vintage Sugarloaf Sapphire and Diamond Cluster Ring in White Gold, c. 1980
A classic among engagement rings is undoubtedly the cluster ring with a blue sapphire at its centre, surrounded by white diamonds. This is not least because the Princess of Wales wears such a ring, which was Lady Diana's engagement ring back in 1981. But even in the 19th century, the blue sapphire was associated with love and fidelity, as a glance at the "gem lore" of those years reveals. At the center of this beautiful ring, which we date to around 1980 due to its design, is a dark blue sapphire in the so-called "sugarloaf cut". The unusual gemstone has a cushion-shaped base and is cut into a high cabochon that is actually reminiscent of a sugar loaf. The untreated sapphire (no heat), weighing approx. 3.70 ct, is surrounded by a total of 12 fine diamonds weighing 0.95 ct. The ring itself is forged from 18-karat white gold. We particularly liked the ring because of its beautiful center stone, which is an unusual variation on the classic sapphire motif with a diamond entourage.
