9ct Yellow Gold Australian Green Sapphire Baguette Ring | Sapphire Dreams

Nine baguette cut natural Australian green sapphires (3.27ct total), claw-set in a continuous row on a 9ct yellow gold band. 

Not a centre stone, not a halo, but a deliberate line of green sapphire baguettes, cut and set to read as a single ribbon of colour across the finger.

Why this ring works

The baguette cut is what gives this ring its character. Baguettes are rectangular step-cut stones — open, mirror-like facets running parallel to the edges, no brilliance-style sparkle. Where a round brilliant scatters light, a baguette holds it in flat planes, which lets you see into the stone rather than just off it. It's a cut that rewards good colour and clean material, because there's nowhere to hide. The fact that these stones were cut as baguettes tells you the rough was good enough to handle the cut.

Nine of them in a row creates one continuous band of colour. Matching nine baguettes in tone, saturation and cut is harder than it sounds — Australian sapphires come out of the ground in a wide range of greens, and pulling nine stones that read as a single colour family takes time and a good eye. Each stone in this ring has been hand-selected to match the others, which is why the row reads as one ribbon rather than nine separate gems.

The stones

• 9 baguette cut natural Australian green sapphires
• Total carat weight: 3.27ct
• Colour range: Hand-selected and matched in tone and saturation

Australian green sapphires are mined locally, predominantly from Anakie, Inverell and the Lava Plains. They're known for the deep, natural green tones that you don't get from sapphires sourced anywhere else in the world. Each stone has its own slightly different character, which is part of what makes this ring feel made rather than manufactured.
