During the period in which this ring was made, lab-grown sapphires were a relatively new phenomenon, and only recently made available commercially. Therefore this ring was somewhat of a novelty in its day, not to mention that in this period lab sapphires cost more than their mined counterparts!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe sapphire is surrounded by a halo of rose cut diamonds in platinum millegrain settings. The underside of the bezel features a decorative gallery and an open-back. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAll of the stones are in open-backed settings which allows light to pass through the stones and enables easy cleaning of the ring.
