This elegant vintage 14K gold ring showcases a mesmerizing oval-cut iolite, a gemstone celebrated for its velvety blue-violet hue and subtle color shifts in changing light. The stone is securely held in a graceful four-prong setting, flanked by airy gold curves that lend the ring a refined, romantic silhouette.
The combination of iolite’s deep indigo tone and warm yellow gold creates a timeless contrast, embodying both sophistication and quiet strength.
Iolite, sometimes called “water sapphire,” was treasured by ancient navigators for its pleochroic nature—displaying flashes of blue, violet, and gray depending on the angle of light. The elegant openwork shoulders highlight the stone’s clarity and brilliance, showcasing fine craftsmanship typical of late 20th-century goldsmithing
