Sapphire, tourmaline and emerald ring

Size 18 ring crafted in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver with oval-cut faceted stones: a 7 x 5 mm blue sapphire, 4 x 3 mm tourmalines, and 1 mm round emeralds. The design features an electric blue sapphire in the center, surrounded by the colorful tourmalines. The six emeralds are positioned at the two ends opposite the ring's band.

Sapphire:

The elements that give it color are iron and titanium in blue sapphire, and vanadium in violet. Iron determines the yellow and green tones, chromium the pink color, and inclusions of rutile needles produce a silky luster. In ancient European and Indian cultures, it was considered the stone of Saturn, representing the sky, the world of angels, magic, loyalty, and friendship. In antiquity, and to some extent even into the Middle Ages, the term sapphire was generally understood to refer to what is now known as lapis lazuli.

Emerald:

The green color comes from a mixture of other minerals, including chromium, vanadium, and iron, which gives it a bluish tint. In natural light, the true essence of emeralds is easier to discern, while artificial light can expose internal fractures in the stone caused by the glare. In ancient European and Indian cultures, the emerald was associated with Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of journeys, sleep, and dreams, and was therefore considered the stone of divine inspiration.
