Skimming Stone 11.42ct Sri Lankan Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

Perfectly complemented by a contemporary bold gold surround, an important 11.16ct oval cut pink Sri Lankan sapphire commands attention as the centrepiece of this stunning skimming stone ring. This breathtaking sapphire is accompanied by certification from the AGL (American Gemological Laboratories), to confirm that it has been subjected to heat treatment to enhance its colour and clarity. Designed by members of the Pragnell family, the soft curved lines of the central sapphire have been expertly encased in a richly polished, buttery 18ct yellow gold mount. Small sparkling brilliants (0.26ct) have been set around the sides of the central sapphire, excitingly catching the eye of the wearer when worn in the sunshine. Tactile and bold, this design was created to showcase special oval cut gemstones and diamonds. Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is known as "The Gem Island”, and is famous for producing a wide variety of exceptional quality stones. Many of the most famous sapphires in the world have come from Sri Lanka. As a sixth-generation family jeweller, the Pragnell family often gain inspiration from Stratford-upon-Avon and its beautiful surroundings. In this instance, childhood memories skimming stones on the Avon were evoked, providing the perfect inspiration for this refreshing contemporary style. Handcrafted in our workshops in the heart of England, this ring offers the superb quality of the Pragnell Seal, and showcases exceptional artistry, craftsmanship and gemstones.
