Sapphire Oval Solitaire Ring, Horizontal (September Birthstone)
The gemstone is a rose cut 10 x 15 mm oval sapphire. But what really sets this ring apart is the fact that it has been created using copper electroforming. This process is a true art form, allowing for the deposition of copper electrolytes over several hours in a copper-acid solution. The result is a piece of jewellery that has a unique and unpredictable texture, making it truly one-of-a-kind.
When you receive your ring, it will be beautifully packaged and ready for gifting, complete with a gemstone info card, thank you note, and care instructions.
It's important to note that copper can darken over time, which is why we recommend cleaning it with Copperbrite and a soft cloth. Available here) And while copper can potentially turn the skin green, a coat of clear nail polish can prevent this from happening.
Overall, this natural raw sapphire copper solitaire ring is a truly special piece of jewellery. It's been made with love and care, using the finest materials and techniques, and it's sure to become a treasured part of your collection for years to come.
About Sapphire:
One of the four precious gemstones, sapphires are part of the corundum family. While red corundum is called ruby, all the other colours in this family are classified as sapphires. The sapphire and ruby siblings are the hardest stones after diamonds, scoring a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale.
The word sapphire is derived from the Latin and Greek words for “blue” namely sapphirius and sappheiros. Although you will probably think of a rich blue colour, sapphires actually come in almost every colour of the rainbow!
