Antique Sapphire Daisy Ring
An antique sapphire daisy ring brings together a central blue stone and a border of diamonds in a classic flower cluster.
Antique Sapphire Daisy Ring
The materials recorded in these pieces rely predominantly on eighteen carat gold, often paired with platinum settings for the gemstone cluster. Examples range from Victorian beginnings through Edwardian lace work to geometric Art Deco designs and later vintage iterations. Each ring presents a recognizable floral silhouette formed by a deep blue sapphire at the heart and sparkling diamonds as petals.
What varies in quality
The distinction between tiers rests upon the saturation and clarity of the central sapphire alongside the cut and match of the surrounding diamonds. Superior examples display a vibrant cornflower or deep royal blue tone that holds its colour evenly under various lighting conditions.
Workmanship in the setting technique also defines the grade of the piece, where fine claw work and balanced proportions elevate the floral illusion. The integration of platinum with eighteen carat gold indicates a deliberate choice to enhance the brilliance of the diamond border.
