Like almost all gemstones, sapphire has been sought after and prized for thousands of years and mystical properties have been attributed to it. For the ancient Persians, it was a huge sapphire that gave the sky its color. On “The Heavenly Stone”, as it was known, the world rested and the blue of the sky was only its reflection. Tradition also tells that the commandments were written by Moses on sapphire tablets. By the 12th century sapphires began to be closely associated with the clergy, bishops and priests wore ecclesiastical rings set with sapphires. Centuries later, sapphires were replaced by amethysts, which are still worn today.

The pear cut whose technical gemological name is Pendeloque is a faceted teardrop-shaped cut that represents a pear-shaped modification of the brilliant cut and has its origins in the 15th century. With a tone between Royal Blue and Midnight Blue, this sapphire of marvelous clarity cut in the shape of a teardrop or Pendeloque is a precious specimen of a gem that never goes out of fashion and invariably arouses great admiration.

The ring measures 13/53, and weighs 3 grams. 10 natural brilliant-cut diamonds accompany the sapphire for a total of 0.10 carats. The ring is staple mounted.
