"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well."— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

This one of a kind 14k yellow gold 3-stone ring features a very special petite Starbrite cut sappphire cut by the legendary John Dyer (Starbrite is a Trademarked faceted cut). The gemstone is a stunning orange sapphire (unheated). This gemstone and ring is completely one of a kind and ready to ship (resizable).

"In Celtic lore, the hawthorn is among the most revered of trees, embodying both love and protection. Often called the Fairy Tree, it was believed to be watched over by the fair folk who dwelled beneath its branches, and thus it was approached with deep respect and care. Yet the gentle gathering of hawthorn blossoms and sprigs was permitted—particularly for brides, who wove the blooms into their hair or carried them in bouquets as a symbol of their sacred union and enduring love."

The Starbrite cut gives these trademarked gemstones an incredible brilliance viewed from all angles. It does not contain a traditional full pavillion or culet as many fully faceted gemstones do.

Please note: While every effort is made to photograph the items to be an accurate representation, photography and computer monitors have limitations and differences. These images were taken with a Canon DSLR and macro lens (this shows much more detail than the eye can see). Colors and brightness may vary on different devices. I believe these pieces look so much prettier in person when held in the hand and admired by the eye (I've also been told this many times by Knot & Splice customers). I hope you're delighted when you receive your special piece.
