9 carat yellow gold, trapezoid cut blue parti sapphire

A ring for a friend who is truly a solid gold force of nature, in trade for one of her long coveted early photographic works.

The perfect thing in return seemed to be a Ledge style ring set with a striking parti sapphire in a trapezoid cut. A brutalist inspired form, an elevated tapered platform and a raked concrete like texture set with polished geometric prismatic blue.

A monument for a hand of a friend.
