Neither an oval or a pear shape, the unique 2.49 CARAT
CARATA unit of weight that is used to measure the physical weight of diamonds and gemstones, one carat equals 0.200 grams or 1/5 gram and is subdivided into 100 points. The term carat is believed to derive from the carob tree, whose seeds weigh approximately 0.20 grams. To determine the approximate weight of a diamond, ancient jewellers would use carob seeds placed on balance scales. While this archaic method has been replaced with high-precision electronic weighing machines, the terminology has endured.
Madagascan blue sapphire at the heart of our bombé-style cocktail ring was cut and polished by Top Notch Faceting, which has built a reputation as one of the most innovative stone cutters in the jewellery industry today. Sophie chose to frame the centre stone with a fine DIAMOND HALO

Among the most treasured of all the gemstones, sapphires are a variety of the mineral corundum that are known for their exceptional beauty, hardness and durability.
