Fabulous Vintage 9ct Yellow Gold Synthetic Colour-Change Sapphire Ring - 19ct
Bold, glamorous, and absolutely unforgettable — this vintage 9-carat yellow gold synthetic colour-change Sapphire ring is a true showstopper.
These fascinating stones are sometimes mistakenly called synthetic Alexandrite, but their beauty is entirely their own — and this example is one of the most vibrant we have seen.
At the centre sits a breathtaking synthetic colour-change oval-cut Sapphire measuring approximately 18 mm x 14.5 mm, weighing an estimated 19 carats. Its colour is a deep, luxurious purple that shimmers with flashes of pink and rose tones as the light moves — a truly mesmerising effect.
The gemstone is securely four-claw set in a slightly raised, structural setting, giving the ring a striking presence on the hand. The openwork shoulders, formed in elongated triangular shapes, flow seamlessly into a solid gold rear shank, creating a design that feels both vintage and boldly modern. A particularly substantial ring weighing an impressive 7.58 grams, this one feels as good as it looks on the hand!
Channeling strong Art Deco-inspired geometry, this ring makes a powerful statement — perfect for those who love jewellery with personality and flair.
With bold statement rings making a major comeback on the fashion scene (and on celebrity hands everywhere!), this piece is right on trend while still offering timeless vintage charm.
A fabulous ring for anyone who loves colour, confidence, and a touch of drama — this one is made to turn heads.
