12 Carat "Octopus" Ring in Gold with Star Ruby, Parti Sapphire & Star Sapphires

About the Item

This one-of-a-kind ring by Eytan Brandes features five natural sapphire and ruby cabochons, each with interesting color and light characteristics. The magenta-colored stone is a 2.94 carat star ruby from Madagascar. In the right light, it shows a distinct six-pointed star, but in every other light, it still has a beautiful luster and sheen. The large oval stone is a 3.33 carat blue-green "parti" sapphire with streaky green inclusions and plenty of internal crackle. On the sides are two small star sapphires. Both present six-pointed stars, but that of the gray sapphire (1.61 carats) is very strong and centered while that of the black sapphire (1.4 carats) is shy and tends to creep at the corners. The fifth stone is a 2.92 carat silver-grey sapphire with unusual golden needle inclusions. It's also a star sapphire, and when the star blazes through all that interior "crackle," the stone appears slightly more gold than gray. You'll find yourself endless shifting your hand around to find all the different effects these five stones have in their bags of tricks. The ring is a freeform delivery system in hammered 14 karat yellow gold -- unapologetically substantial but comfortable to wear. Currently a size 8.5, according to the mandrel, but it fits a little larger since there's plenty of wiggle room behind the ring's large front face. Resizing is complimentary for full-price buyers and negotiable otherwise, but please let us know your sizing needs up front so we can make sure you can be accommodated. The total stone weight is 12.2 carats and the total ring weight is 18.5 grams. The face of the ring is 29mm (about 1-1/8") tall. The band is 3.5mm wide and 2mm thick.

  • "Shield" Modern Power Ring in White Gold with Ruby & Diamonds
    By Eytan Brandes
    Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
    The face of this bold, modern ring started off in life as a cufflink,* probably made in the early 1970s. Originally set with a not-aging-very-well black star sapphire, Eytan replaced it with a nice 1.02 carat natural ruby cabochon. The diamonds are original -- clean little full cut brilliants, earth-mined and untreated, weighing approximately 0.03 carats each. The wide split shoulders flare out a bit at the sides to form a carinated single shank that tapers to a width of 4mm at the back. Currently a size 7, Eytan will resize at no additional charge for full-price buyers. All metal is 14 karat white gold. This ring weighs 12.4 grams. * We made this cuff link's mate into a slider pendant -- reset with a nice sapphire -- which is also listed on Dibs. Copy and paste...

  • GIA-Certified 2.29 Carat Yellow Sapphire Ring with Tiny Sapphires in 18K Gold
    By Eytan Brandes
    Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
    This new ring by Eytan Brandes is a design he made for one of our long-time customers in platinum with diamonds as an engagement ring. He made an extra copy in 18 karat gold because he wanted a nice setting for a yellow sapphire he's had for several years. Prior to setting the stone, we had it certified by GIA, which confirmed the weight and dimensions, as well as the origin (Sri Lanka). Most important, the report confirms the stone hasn't been subjected to beryllium diffusion, which is the current scourge of the sapphire and ruby trade. The stone has been heated, which is customary and creates permanent improvement in the stone's color, but it has not been filled, chemically altered, or otherwise augmented in any way. The sapphire's intense golden yellow really sparkles thanks to a nice mixed cut (brilliant cut faceting on the crown and step cut faceting on the pavilion). The tiny blue sapphires (totaling less than 0.06 carats), set in little "leaves" on the sides, present some nice unexpected contrast. The band is slender and carinated (i.e., knife-edged), so it's actually thicker (1.8mm) than it is wide (1.6mm). A very striking, comfortable ring, in rich 18 karat yellow gold. The total ring weight is 3.9 grams. Currently a size 5.25, Eytan will resize at no charge for full-price buyers. If you would like this as your engagement ring, Eytan can design matching wedding rings...
