DATE: Vintage, c.1960

A classic vintage trilogy ring set with a full carat blue sapphire centre flanked by two .18ct brilliant cut diamonds. The sapphire is certified natural with no heat treatment, and it displays excellent colour, a vivid royal blue that flashes strongly as the pavilion facets move in the light. The inner band has been inscribed with the words "and death shall have no dominion", from St Paul's epistle to the Romans (6:9), although in this case possibly more likely a reference to the Dylan Thomas poem. It dates from the 1960s and is crafted in 18 karat gold throughout.
