№ 252S
Rare Find
This beautiful 19th century diamond and sapphire marquise ring makes such a statement, either as an engagement ring or as a dress ring. The shuttle shaped bezel found popularity during the late 1700s, when a trend for classical design had taken hold. Although the style slowly petered out of the limelight by 1820, later European examples are still found, of which this is an example. Extending 23.5mm up the finger, the bezel is encrusted with bright Old European cut diamonds, with a deep Royal Blue sapphire in the centre. The open-back gallery setting keeps the diamonds bright, coupled with the silver top setting to enhance their crisp colour, and the scroll detail at the shoulders add another little point of interest. It is a regal piece that looks wonderful on the finger.

Excellent experience from start to finish, I didn't have a clue what I was doing when looking at engagement rings but was very happy with my purchase. And it seemed to do the trick as she happily said yes :)
The engagement ring we bought from the AJC was perfect, and the service provided was very friendly and attentive. I haven't got anything bad to say!
Service was unbeatable - worked to an extremely tight time scale and dedivvered without a hitch. The ring is perfect and I'm proud to see it on the hand of my fiancé. You guys have made us both very happy!
