Big, bold, sparkly, and unapologetic: this is a ring for the diva in your life--maybe you! It features a queen-size natural London blue topaz (about 13mm by 11mm), set high above the finger and open on the sizes and below to reveal all those lovely flashes of light. The stone reads as almost black until it hits the light, and then it's just blue, blue, blue. It's designed to be seen from space, I mean stage. Nonetheless, it's very wearable and comfortable too. The setting is a modified basket setting of my own design. The ring has a knife-edge band with a graceful curve. It is U.S. size 8 1/2.
I use only argentium sterling silver for my ear wires and the other silver elements in my jewelry. Argentium sterling silver is a hypoallergenic alloy of silver using only recycled silver. It contains more pure silver than ordinary sterling (93.5% or 94%, vs. a minimum of 92% for other sterling). It contains no nickel. It is very durable, and unlike ordinary sterling silver, it is tarnish-resistant.
