This is a one of a kind Flora ring with a gorgeous parti (teal/blue/green) Australian sapphire in 14K yellow gold with pastel teal-colored sapphires (very hard to get in these tinier sizes!). "Flora" has elements of traditional design as a cluster ring with a touch of organic detailing and unique gemstones. This piece is for the lover of simple, classic beauty with a little something extra, and it's handmade! Each piece made by Knot & Splice is actually fabricated, wax carved, and/or hand-set in artist Nicole Jo Melton's home studio.

For the made to order option of this beloved design, we can create your ring with your choice of gemstone and 14K gold selection found here.

  • Band width: 1.3mm 
  • Setting size: approx. 6.3mm x 7.1mm x 4mm
  • Center stone is approx. 4mm (carat weight varies by gemstone)
  • Accent pastel teal sapphires: these accent sapphires are a mixture of Montana origin (larger accent) and two Sri Lanka teal sapphires; round brilliant cut and ethically sourced. 
  • Center stone: Australian sapphire center stone—this sapphire is gorgeous, with greens, yellows, and blues (depending on the angle and lighting). 
  • More info about Australian sapphires: "The typical Australian sapphires have dark blue colour, a strong green dichroic and colour zoning. The Parti colour Sapphire, usually blue, green and yellow in one stone is my favourite. 

    The sapphire (corundum group), the members of which are characterised by their excellent hardness (9 on the Mohs scale). Indeed their hardness is exceeded only by that of the diamond, – and the diamond is the hardest mineral on Earth! Thanks to that hardness, Australian sapphires are easy to look after, requiring no more than the usual care on the part of the wearer. The sapphire symbolises loyalty, but at the same time it gives expression to people’s love and longing.

  • The color of Australian Sapphires can remind one of the shining mid-blue of a lovely summer’s day, which casts its spell over us. However, this magnificent gemstone also comes in many other colours: Green, Yellow, Parti, Colour Change and many other colours." (from Gemrockauctions.com)

      Please note: While every effort is made to photograph the items to be an accurate representation, photography and computer monitors have limitations and differences. These images were taken with a Canon DSLR and macro lens (this shows much more detail than the eye can see). Colors and brightness may vary on different devices. I believe these pieces look so much prettier in person when held in the hand and admired by the eye (I've also been told this many times by Knot & Splice customers). I hope you're delighted when you receive your special piece.
