Triple wire shoulders lead to a slim, grooved white gold shank. A serious, and seriously lovely, piece of jewellery.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Mid-century sapphire cluster rings, particularly those produced during the 1960s, often feature prominent central coloured gemstones framed by round brilliant and geometric accent diamonds set in white precious metals.

These pieces generally feature natural Sri Lankan sapphires prized for their vivid blue hue, paired with diamonds mounted in platinum or gold settings.

Authentic rings from this era feature precise metal hallmarks, hand-finished claw settings, and characteristic side accents such as baguette-cut diamonds flanking the main cluster.

A large sapphire cluster ring serves as an understated statement piece, ideal for pairing with formal evening wear or tailored modern tailoring to highlight the central gemstone.

Clean the ring gently using warm water with mild soap and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals, and store it in a fabric-lined box to prevent stones from scratching other items.
