Pretty sapphire rings by Lori McLean for the shop's own LMc Private Label collection!
I love sapphires because even though the word sapphire comes from the Greek word sappheiros that means "blue stone" they actually come in almost any color you can imagine. The stones in the rings above are rectangle cabochons, meaning their top surface is shaped and polished rather than faceted.
The rings above to the left are emerald and ruby teardrops. Rubies are really red sapphires, they get their red color from the higher amount of chromium they have in them which absorbs yellow-green light. The rings above to the right are all rubies or shades of red and pink sapphires.
I love the shades of blues in these rings. Some have rose gold bands, the contrast of the warm gold and cool stone is just enough contrast to be intriguing. Lori roughs up the bands so they have this really beautiful and interesting texture.
We love a few stacked together in different shades of the same color and with a different shape or two. Stop by the shop and find your perfect combination!
