SOLD Vintage Retro 14K, Sapphire & Diamond Tank Ring

To the ancient and medieval world, Sapphire of heavenly blue signified the height of celestial hope and faith, and was believed to bring protection, good fortune and spiritual insight. It was a symbol of power and strength, but also of kindness and wise judgment. The Greeks wore it for wisdom at Delphi when seeking answers from the Oracle at Apollo’s Shrine. Buddhists believed it brought devotion and spiritual enlightenment, and the Hindus considered Sapphire as one of the “great gems” used in offerings in the temples for worship and to align astrological influences. In Christianity it was used in ecclesiastical rings, and was cherished by kings and nobility for its powers of protection and insight. Today, sapphires are stones of commitment and attachment, and are popular love tokens.

A legend claims the God of Mines called his courtiers to bring together all the world’s known gems: Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds, etc. etc., and he found them to be of all tints and colors and varying hardness. He took one of each and crushed them; he compounded them together, and declared, “Let this be something that will combine the beauty of all.” In addition to its spiritual power, Diamond has an unconquerable hardness and has been known since antiquity as a “Stone of Invincibility,” bringing victory, superior strength, fortitude and courage to its wearer. It is associated with lightning and fearlessness, and for its properties of protection. 

This wonderfully stylish sapphire and diamond ring, crafted in 14 karat yellow gold, features four square cut sapphires invisibly set in a square frame, surrounded by channel set round cut diamonds. With smooth, tapering shoulders that meld seamlessly into the shank, it's classic tank ring, and has a decidedly Unisex vibe. We are loving the versatility of this piece. It's a go-to for any day, any occasion!
