A one carat natural tanzanite, round cut, lifted on 18k white gold and held in a halo of VVS natural diamonds. Tanzanite is found only in the Merelani Hills of northern Tanzania, a single source, and the stone shifts from clear blue in daylight to violet under warm light. The shoulders are engraved with a mashrabiya motif, geometry drawn from the carved screens of Islamic architecture. The ring is named for Mimar Sinan, the 16th century Ottoman architect of Süleymaniye and Selimiye. Hand applied sky blue enamel deepens the stone. Worn on the index finger, the blue reads cool and clear; stacked with a warm 18k band, the contrast does the work. Show more
