{"product_id":"waiatarua-wide-blue-sapphire-flower-ring","title":"Waiatarua Wide – Blue Sapphire Flower Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you love flower jewellery but prefer something with a bit more weight and character, the Waiatarua Wide Ring is very much on the sculptural side of botanical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 15mm irregular silver flower sits across a substantial, approximately 9mm wide textured band, with a 3mm deep blue cabochon sapphire cast into its centre. The sapphire is naturally variegated, with subtle shifts and flashes of blue-green colour as it catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall irregular beads of silver gather around the sapphire as part of the setting, giving the flower an organic, slightly unruly finish rather than anything too neat or perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 11.7g, this is a substantial ring with plenty of presence on the hand. The dark sapphire gives all that textured silver a strong focal point, sitting almost like a small pool of deep water at the centre of the flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Waiatarua?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring takes its name from Waiatarua Road in Remuera and the area's historic association with Lake Waiatarua. One recorded interpretation of Waiatarua is \u003cem\u003ewaters of double reflection\u003c\/em\u003e, which seemed particularly fitting for the deep blue sapphire held within the centre of the flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition of One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits approximately NZ\/UK Q½–R | US 8½–8¾\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand width:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 9mm at the widest point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.7g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15mm across\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3mm natural cabochon sapphire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep variegated blue with subtle blue-green shifts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid sterling silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapphire cast in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-sculpted and cast locally in Auckland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividually finished by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeed another size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Get in touch if you'd like to talk about having a similar Waiatarua Ring made for you.
