March 2016 Rings

A very special 'ripple top' Montana sapphire by master gem cutter John Dyer, set in recycled 18k yellow gold

Another shot of the same ring - one of the cool things about John's cuts is that a very large diameter stone (9mm in this case) is cut very shallow, allowing for a fairly low bezel for such a large stone.
