Scandal rocks the gem world. It turns out that two f the world’s most valuable precious stones have been carrying on behind closed doors. We heard the rumors. Somehow we always suspected that ruby and sapphire had a thing for each other. But our Zola Pink Sapphire Ring provides the definitive, dazzling proof. Nature is picky about pink. These are some of the only naturally-occuring pink gems on the planet. Genuine mined pink sapphires are truly something special. Chemically identical to red rubies and blue sapphires, the flirty pink is much more rarely seen than its famous relatives. And larger pinks are exceptionally hard to find. That’s why we jumped at the chance to secure a small cache of gem-quality stones. Our designers were delighted by the chance to work with the elusive gem, but frankly shocked that we would offer 2 carats of genuine pink sapphires in gleaming sterling silver for under $200. One look at the fancy color and fire in this stunning 2-carat cluster was all it took to make us believe in the power of pink. The shimmering sapphire ovals and rounds are prong-set in genuine .925 sterling silver. An open-backed, raised setting lets light ricochet from every angle. It’s hypnotic. Seductive. Yes, pink may be famous as the official color of pretty. But behind that ballerina exterior, pink isn’t half as innocent as you’d think. Bask in the shade. Right now there’s nothing hotter than pink. Check the headlines. Not long ago, pink diamonds stole the spotlight by shattering world records and fetching millions per carat at auction. But today, pink sapphire is stealing it back. Much of the appeal comes from its rarity, which is due to a complex and delicate chemical balance of trace elements. Mother Nature doesn’t prepare the pink sapphire recipe often, but when she does, the results are truly spectacular. You can find similar rings that sell for as much as $2000. But today the Zola Pink Sapphire Ring is yours for only $196.
