18k Vintage Sapphire and Diamond Ring
The 1980s saw a huge increase of women not just in the workforce, but in high-powered and high-earning positions, and might have done more to influence that decade’s fashions than any other cultural trend. These women asserted themselves in ways that had been nearly impossible in previous decades thanks to new career paths and increasing legal and economic rights.
Until the 1970s, women did not even have the right to open their own bank accounts and have credit cards. A decade later, their economic power had increased massively. Women didn’t have to wait to receive jewelry as a gift anymore. Making their own money and controlling their own finances, women had more freedom to make their own choices when it came to buying jewelry.
A gorgeous example for the sapphire lover, this vibrant example boasts 18ct shine and .90ctw of stones. Extremely saturated sapphires, heartbreakingly brilliant diamonds, outstanding quality overall with beautiful settings on each of the stones, this example is a stunning addition to any collection.
