Crafted in 14k solid gold, this substantial vintage ring is centered with an enormous oval lab-created pink sapphire of more than 11 carats in an intensely saturated raspberry-pink hue. The stone is framed by an elaborate architectural gold setting with openwork details and tiny floral accents, giving the ring a wonderful sculptural presence from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLab-created sapphires belong to a fascinating chapter in jewelry history. The breakthrough came from French chemist Auguste Verneuil, whose flame-fusion process at the turn of the 20th century made it possible to grow corundum with essentially the same chemical composition and crystal structure as natural ruby and sapphire. These early synthetic gems are often referred to as Verneuil stones or flame-fusion sapphires, and their vivid, almost electric colors became particularly beloved in 20th-century jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a particularly striking example, with the oversized pink sapphire taking center stage while the substantial gold work gives the ring plenty of character and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted in 14k solid gold and weighing approximately 8 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing size approximately US 7.25.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is in lovely vintage condition with minor signs of age and wear consistent with a vintage piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oldmine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60336555426126,"sku":null,"price":769.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/3775\/8798\/files\/6D6E5920-3AA7-4B0E-9539-6E483273BD91.JPG?v=1786220290","url":"https:\/\/oldmineshop.com\/products\/juicy-raspberry-pink-lab-created-sapphire-ring-retro-mid-century-14k-gold","provider":"Oldmine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
