This 2.19-carat Tanzanian sapphire shifts color depending on the light, moving between soft mint green and a cooler teal. It's the kind of stone that looks slightly different each time you glance at it, which makes it hard to stop looking.
The kite cut gives the sapphire an angular, elongated silhouette that extends gracefully along the finger. It's a less common shape for sapphires, which tends to appeal to people who want something outside the usual options. You can see into the stone clearly here, following its internal structure and the way light moves through it.
At Ursula Rickmers Jewelry, we set this sapphire in 18k yellow gold. The warmth of the gold draws out the stone's golden-green tones while letting the cooler teal notes provide contrast. Six prongs hold the kite shape securely without crowding its edges.
The ring is handcrafted in our Istanbul atelier, steps from the Grand Bazaar where jewelers have been refining their craft for centuries.
