A monthly note of what's new.
A single French-cut stone in cool aqua blue commands the whole of this ring, spanning nearly the full width of the finger and catching light across its long facets. The 3.30 carat synthetic spinel—a lab-grown material that came into fashion in the 1920s and '30s as an affordable stand-in for aquamarine—holds a clean, watery tone that shifts between pale sky and deeper sea green depending on the light.
Scalloped, almost ribbon-like scrollwork frames the stone on all four sides, with open piercework at the shoulders that keeps the substantial head from feeling heavy. Corner prongs are folded over in a soft, sculpted way and the split shoulders taper into a slim, comfortable band with a subtle stepped detail at each side.
It's a true cocktail ring in the original sense: bold color, generous scale, and a setting made to be looked at from every angle.

Wearing it with care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
We do not sell what we cannot service. Should an issue arise, please get in touch. We offer an extensive range of repair services and are here to help!
