This ring contains a unique brown sapphire flanked by two pear shaped diamonds. Sapphires come in a wide range of colors, and each color has its own quality variations. The more intense the color and the fewer the distracting zones of unattractive color, the more valuable the stone.
Sapphire is the birthstone for the month of September and the traditional gift for a 45th wedding anniversary. It is a variety of the mineral corundum. It is typically blue, but natural fancy sapphires occur in yellow, purple, orange, and green. It is even found in brown, black, and white. The only color which sapphire cannot be is red – as red corundum is ruby.
