Oval Shape Gemstone Solitaire Ring

A single stone, presented without distraction, asks to be looked at properly. This solitaire ring centers an aquamarine of oval shape measuring 5X3 MM, prong set so the metal touches the gemstone only where it must and light reaches the stone from every direction. The pale sea blue of the semi-precious gemstone reads clean and transparent, its color shifting gently as the hand moves. The slender band is worked in 10 karat yellow gold, whose warmth sits in quiet opposition to the coolness of the stone and makes the blue appear clearer still. The low setting keeps the stone close to the finger, making the ring easy to stack against a plain band or wear as a single, uncomplicated note of color. Restrained in construction and confident in its simplicity, the ring is designed to be worn every day without ceremony.
