Green Sapphire Ring

Size 18 ring made of high-purity 950 silver, with a large polished cabochon of 18 x 15 mm green sapphire. This beautiful stone of a deep green color is set in a bezel-style setting and clasp, supported by a simple band that splits at the stone, providing stability and firmness.

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.

Origin: Sri Lanka.

Properties: It provides uprightness, instills wisdom, and enhances judgment and the structuring of thoughts. Known as the stone of wisdom.

Zodiac sign: Pisces
