The Five Faithfuls (c.1977)

Late Modern (1970–1990)
Storied Find #: 032-25
Constructed in 1977, this nine-carat yellow gold ring sets five round-faceted sapphires in a close, unbroken line across a gently domed head — their colour a deep, almost nocturnal blue that holds its depth even in low light. The scrollwork gallery gives the mount a warmth that softens the formality of the straight row, lending the piece a character that sits somewhere between occasion jewellery and something worn simply because it is loved. Five stones of graduating size are the highlight of this traditional half hoop reminiscent of an earlier era.
Story of the Stone

Blue sapphire was the stone of heaven. Across centuries of lapidary tradition, its deep blue was understood as the colour of the celestial realm — associated with truth, faithful devotion, and divine authority. Few stones have carried so consistent a meaning across so many eras and cultures. That significance endures. In the modern era, sapphire is also recognised as the birthstone for September.
