7X5 MM Octagon Cut Blue Topaz and 1/20 Ctw Round Cut Diamond Semi-Precious Beaded Ring in 10K Yellow Gold

Beaded metalwork gathers around the center of this ring, framing a blue topaz in an octagon cut measuring 7X5 MM that is prong set so its step facets hold color in clean, parallel bands. The beading gives the mount a handmade quality, its small rounded forms catching light along the edge and softening the gemstone's geometry. 2 round cut diamonds are bezel set on either side of the stone, each held within a smooth metal rim that keeps the accent tidy and secure. As a semi-precious gemstone, the topaz brings a cool transparency that plays against the warmth of 10 karat yellow gold. The beading is worked closely enough to read as texture rather than ornament, adding warmth to the metal without crowding the stone. Textural and richly worked, the ring is finished with a total weight of 1/20 Ctw.
