Bezzie

A former antique bar brooch, her riding crop and sparkling jockey hat has been transformed into a ring. In the 1920s, brooches were reaching a fever pitch and interestingly enough, people were expressing their hobbies through jewelry. Ideal for the star studded lover, a little bit of glitz and glam goes a long way for the equestrian lover.

While the jockey uniform is quite formal and tidy, this ring has irregular designs. The shoulders have a slight peek a boo effect on one side with the riding crop handle and the diamonds are jaunty. The natural sapphire has a bold asterism effect, super clear under a primary light source. Under ambient or dark lighting, it’s more of a dark and moody royal purple, ready to pounce with her star like effect. In direct lighting is where she shines extra bright, her legs strong and symmetrical. A little beauty mark inclusion on her side further confirming her natural formation – also helps that she comes with a GIA report!
