Sapphire Ring Vintage 9ct Gold Three Stone CZ London 1981 Size M
- Deep blue sapphire colour contrasted with bright white sparkle gives this vintage three-stone ring an attractive, balanced presence on the hand. The marquise-shaped central sapphire is flanked by two round cubic zirconia stones, while the sweeping split shoulders frame the gemstones and give the design a graceful, open appearance.
- Crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold and fully hallmarked in London for 1981, the ring has a slender, easy-to-wear profile with the traditional symbolism and symmetry of a three-stone design. It would make an appealing September birthstone gift, vintage gemstone ring or distinctive everyday piece.

Buy With Confidence
- Beautiful jewellery doesn't have to be new to be special. Vintage and antique pieces offer character, individuality, timeless style and the pleasure of discovering something different, often with excellent value compared with buying new.
- This appreciation for pre-loved jewellery was passed down from my nan, who never felt the need to buy new. When I inherited her jewellery and began finding new homes for the pieces I wouldn't wear myself, I discovered a passion that became Cherished Jewellery.
- Today, I carefully select vintage and antique jewellery with that same appreciation for character, quality and value.
- Every piece is individually photographed and honestly described, with clear condition information, accurate measurements and gemstone and hallmark details based on the available evidence, helping you buy with confidence.
- Beautiful jewellery with a past, ready to become part of your story.
