A band that rises to a point at the front and opens into a V, with a pear-shaped blue sapphire, 0.30 carat, set at the tip. The V follows the line of the finger rather than cutting across it, so the ring sits flat against the hand and leaves room for another ring beside it.

Across the widest point the ring is about 19.5 mm. The gold is brushed on the outside and polished on the inside.

The same ring is made with a green sapphire, as the King Of Green, and with a pearl, as the Sunshine.

Every ring is made to order.

A note on the finish: every piece is first polished to a full shine, where any casting pore or imperfection shows. Only when the gold is clean is a matte finish applied, where the design calls for one. Many makers use a matte finish to hide flaws, so I do the opposite. A matte finish is available on request at no extra cost.

Part of Layani Me, jewelry made to be worn rather than kept in a box. Solid gold with Keshi pearls and gemstones, at a scale you can put on in the morning without thinking about it. Made by hand in our Jerusalem studio.
