A magnificent and finely crafted vintage ballerina ring, this exceptional piece captures the timeless allure of 1970s design and showcases the enduring appeal of precious gemstones. At its centre is a mesmerising 2.75 carat oval faceted Ceylon sapphire, prized for its vivid cornflower blue hue, remarkable natural clarity, and origin from Sri Lanka—one of the most esteemed sources of fine sapphires. The central stone is elevated slightly in subtle relief, securely held by four elegant claws that allow light to enhance its brilliance. Surrounding the sapphire is a dramatic display of twenty-two tapering baguette-cut diamonds, totalling an impressive 2.88 carats. These diamonds radiate outward in a starburst formation, completing the iconic ballerina ring silhouette known for its fluid movement and captivating sparkle. The pierced gallery and refined trifurcating shoulders add depth and architectural beauty to the piece, seamlessly joining a ribbed 18ct white gold shank that balances strength with sophistication.

Independently tested and verified using cutting-edge Niton XL2 analysis, this ring is confirmed as 18ct white gold and reflects a standard of quality typical of the mid-20th century’s finest jewellery. Beyond its technical excellence, the ring carries deep symbolic meaning—sapphires have long been associated with loyalty, wisdom, and spiritual protection, while diamonds signify enduring love and clarity. The combination of these gemstones in a vintage setting makes this piece more than just a statement of style; it is a wearable heirloom steeped in history and emotion. Ideal as a luxurious gift for a birthday, anniversary, engagement, or special celebration, this vintage Ceylon sapphire and diamond ballerina ring offers not only stunning aesthetics but also rarity, sentiment, and sustainable value. It's a lasting treasure for those who appreciate craftsmanship, character, and timeless beauty.
