Sapphire Series Episode 3: Two Affordable Antique Sapphire Rings
While we're celebrating sapphire as the September birthstone, I've picked out two rings that show you don't need a huge budget to own a beautiful antique.
The first is a fabulous daisy cluster. A velvety blue sapphire is surrounded by a halo of diamonds in rub-over settings, on an 18ct band with knife-edge shoulders. It's a really great price at £975.
The second is a style that has always been very popular, the triple cluster. This ring is from the 1920s to 1930s and is made in 18ct yellow gold. We are seeing strong interest in yellow gold at the moment, and this one is particularly lovely, with a trio of sapphires surrounded by rose cut diamonds. That's slightly unusual, and you can see how they really dance in the light. It's £1,495.
Both are wonderful options for a first antique piece or an engagement ring. See them with the rest of our antique cluster rings, or browse our antique jewellery for £1,000 and under.
