I have a new ring and I’m very very excited about it!
It’s a Katherine Bowman piece, white gold with the most beautiful parti-colour sapphire you’ve ever seen – gorgeous blue / green … a friend of mine said it was like looking into an aquarium.

While I can’t seem to find the macro setting on my camera (I know, I really ought to read the instruction manual), I have done my best to give you an idea of the stone … though it is so beautiful it is truly difficult to capture it sufficiently.

The part of my finger that the ring sits on is so much thinner than my (enormous!) knuckle, but it fits perfectly following Katherine soldering two little balls on the back of the band (which you may see in the top image) and this prevents the ring from swinging around.
I could not be happier with it – it’s just gorgeous.

Regular readers will know of my admiration of Katherine’s pieces, and so will totally understand how excited I am!
