This ring was commissioned by someone younger than me but definitely wiser than her years. She’s a person devoted to her call and shares her gifts and passions with many less fortunate. As an educator of sorts, she was advised by one of her mentors to wear a yellow sapphire ring on her right forefinger so as to heighten intellect, merit and wisdom.

And so we set her pale yellow sapphire ring in a gold setting. With provision of the stone touching her skin underneath when worn, similar to a previous piece we made. I put in some gold bead details and contrasts of textures to make things interesting; but letting the focus of the piece still be on the stone itself. Sometimes, or most times, the simplest designs are best.
